Insertions in SARS-CoV-2 genome caused by template switch and duplications give rise to new variants of potential concern

2021-05-05

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>The appearance of multiple new SARS-CoV-2 variants during the winter of 2020–2021 is a matter of grave concern. Some of these new variants, such as B.1.351 and B.1.1.17, manifest higher infectivity and virulence than the earlier SARS-CoV-2 variants, with potential dramatic effects on the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. So far, analysis of new SARS-CoV-2 variants focused primarily on po...
