Diverse patterns of intra-host genetic diversity in chronically infected SARS-CoV-2 patients
2024-11-25
Abstract excerpt
In rare individuals with a severely immunocompromised system, chronic infections of SARS-CoV-2 may develop, where the virus replicates in the body for months. Sequencing of some chronic infections has uncovered dramatic adaptive evolution and fixation of mutations reminiscent of lineage-defining mutations of variants of concern (VOCs). This has led to the prevailing hypothesis that VOCs emerged from chronic infect...
