SARS-CoV-2 Quasispecies Provides an Advantage Mutation Pool for the Epidemic Variants
ABSTRACT The dynamics of quasispecies afford RNA viruses a great fitness on cell tropism and host range. To study the quasispecies features and the intra-host evolution of SARS-CoV-2, we collected nine confirmed patients and sequenced the haplotypes of spike gene using a single-molecule real-time pl...
