Study shows P681H mutation is becoming globally prevalent among SARS-CoV-2 sequences In a recent bioRxiv* preprint study, researchers from the University of Hawaii showed that the S gene of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is continuously mutating according to the sequence and phylogenetic analysis. At the same time, a unique strain with an emerging mutation in an altered spike glycoprotein may be present in Hawaii. Over the past year, there was a notable evolut...
