A Glimpse on the Evolution of RNA Viruses: Implications and Lessons from SARS-CoV-2
RNA viruses are characterised by extremely high genetic variability due to fast replication, large population size, low fidelity, and (usually) a lack of proofreading mechanisms of RNA polymerases leading to high mutation rates. Furthermore, viral recombination and reassortment may act as a signific...
