Adaptive trends of sequence compositional complexity over pandemic time in the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus

2021-11-08

Abstract excerpt

During the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus underwent mutation and recombination events that altered its genome compositional structure, thus providing an unprecedented opportunity to search for adaptive evolutionary trends in real-time. The mutation rate in coronavirus is known to be lower than expected for neutral evolution, thus suggesting a role for natural selection. We summarize th...
