The pandemic virus is slowly mutating But does it matter?

ABSTRACT

The article examines how Covid-19 pandemic is slowly mutating in the U.S. It mentions that sequencing severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) genomes helps researchers follow how the virus spreads;and cell culture experiments suggest that the mutation does not have the same benign effect in SARS-CoV-2. It mentions G614 variant causes a slight change in shape of spike, making it easier for protein to undergo structural changes according to Jeremy Luban.
