Evaluating the effects of SARS-CoV-2 Spike mutation D614G on transmissibility and pathogenicity

2020-08-04

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Global dispersal and increasing frequency of the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein variant D614G are suggestive of a selective advantage but may also be due to a random founder effect. We investigate the hypothesis for positive selection of Spike D614G in the United Kingdom using more than 25,000 whole genome SARS-CoV-2 sequences. Despite the availability of a large data set, well represented by both Spik...
