Researchers update automated computation tool for SARS-CoV-2 genome analysis
Researchers update automated computation tool for SARS-CoV-2 genome analysis Researchers updated a previous version of an automated tool to include severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) genome analysis. Genome analysis using the freely available software could help track the evolution of the virus and promptly identify variants that increase viral transmission or virulence. The SARS-CoV-2 pathogen has been mutating since it was first discovered in late 2019. Some of these mutations have increased virus fitness, which may affect COVID-19 disease outcomes, its transmissib...
