S:D614G and S:H655Y are gateway mutations that act epistatically to promote SARS-CoV-2 variant fitness

2023-03-31

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Abstract/Summary</h4> SARS-CoV-2 variants bearing complex combinations of mutations that confer increased transmissibility, COVID-19 severity, and immune escape, were first detected after S:D614G had gone to fixation, and likely originated during persistent infection of immunocompromised hosts. To test the hypothesis that S:D614G facilitated emergence of such variants, S:D614G was reverted to the ancestral se...
