Mutant Spectra in Virus Behavior

2010-11-01

Abstract excerpt

RNA viruses replicate as complex mutant spectra, also termed ‘mutant clouds’, known as viral quasispecies. While this is a widely observed viral population structure, it is less known that a number of biologically relevant features of this important group of viral pathogens depend on (or are strongly influenced by) the complexity and composition of mutant spectra. Among them, fitness increase or decrease depending...
