Genomic analysis of early transmissibility assessment of the D614G mutant strain of SARS-CoV-2 in travelers returning to Taiwan from the United States of America

Background There is a global pandemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Information on viral genomics is crucial for understanding global dispersion and for providing insight into viral pathogenicity and transmission. Here, we characterized the SARS-CoV-2 genomes isola...
