Observed strong pervasive positive selection in the N-terminal domain, receptor-binding domain and furin-cleavage sites of SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein sampled from Zimbabwean COVID-19 patients

2022-04-28

Abstract excerpt

Mutations primarily in the Spike (S) gene resulted in the emergence of many SARS-CoV-2 variants like Alpha, Beta, Delta and Omicron variants. This has also caused a number of COVID-19 pandemic waves which have impacted human lives in different ways due to restriction measures put in place to curb the spread of the virus. In this study, evolutionary patterns found in SARS-CoV-2 sequences of samples collected from Z...
