Genomic surveillance of COVID-19 cases in Beijing

In this study, Chen and colleagues present genomic sequences of 102 SARS-CoV-2 isolates collected in Beijing. They look closely at genomic variation between isolates that arose as a result of domestic and global transmission. Their data suggest that SARS-CoV-2 genomes have a high mutational toleranc...

Description
Summary:In this study, Chen and colleagues present genomic sequences of 102 SARS-CoV-2 isolates collected in Beijing. They look closely at genomic variation between isolates that arose as a result of domestic and global transmission. Their data suggest that SARS-CoV-2 genomes have a high mutational tolerance, which may have potential implications for the development of vaccines.
