Structural insights in cell-type specific evolution of intra-host diversity by SARS-CoV-2

BriSΔ, a SARS-CoV-2 variant from clinical isolate hCoV/England/02/2020, comprises a deletion in a spike cleavage site. The structure and molecular dynamics of this spike provides mechanistic insights into how the deletion modulates virus infectivity.
