Summary The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic underscores the need to
better understand animal-to-human transmission of coronaviruses and adaptive evolution …

The causative agent of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, severe acute
respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is steadily mutating during continuous …

During the evolution of SARS-CoV-2 in humans a D614G substitution in the spike (S) protein
emerged and became the predominant circulating variant (S-614G) of the COVID-19 …

During the evolution of SARS-CoV-2 in humans, a D614G substitution in the spike
glycoprotein (S) has emerged; virus containing this substitution has become the …

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has resulted in numerous virus variants, some of which have
altered receptor-binding or antigenic phenotypes. Here, we quantify the degree to which …

Introduction The spectrum of SARS-CoV-2 mutations have increased over time, resulting in
the emergence of several variants of concern. Persistent infection is assumed to be involved …

A spike protein mutation D614G became dominant in SARS-CoV-2 during the COVID-19
pandemic. However, the mutational impact on viral spread and vaccine efficacy remains to …

A spike protein mutation D614G became dominant in SARS-CoV-2 during the COVID-19
pandemic. However, the mutational impact on viral spread and vaccine efficacy remains to …

Recently, a novel isolate of the SARS-CoV-2 virus carrying a point mutation in the Spike
protein (D614G) has emerged and rapidly surpassed others in prevalence, including the …

Viruses rapidly co-evolve with their hosts. The 9 million sequenced SARS-CoV-2 genomes
by March 2022 provide a detailed account of viral evolution, showing that all amino acids …
