Building on the UShER tree of millions of SARS-CoV-2 genomes maintained by Angie Hinrichs, Hugh Haddox and Georg Angehrn (and others in @matsen.bsky.social lab and @jbloomlab.bsky.social) have looked into how the neutral mutation rate varies along the genome: [1/N] www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
biorxiv.org
The mutation rate of SARS-CoV-2 is highly variable between sites and is influenced by sequence context, genomic region, and RNA structure
RNA viruses like SARS-CoV-2 have a high mutation rate, which contributes to their rapid evolution. The rate of mutations depends on the mutation type (e.g., A→C, A→G, etc.) and can vary between sites ...
