Point mutation bias in SARS-CoV-2 variants results in increased ability to stimulate inflammatory responses
2020-07-29
Abstract excerpt
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection induces severe pneumonia and is the cause of a worldwide pandemic. Coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-2, have RNA proofreading enzymes in their genomes, resulting in fewer gene mutations than other RNA viruses.
