Surprise outburst study: Multiple SK mutation damages the virus and does not enhance its ability to spread

The results of a team from the University of London College in the United Kingdom showed that some of the most common mutations are neutral, some were somewhat harmful to the virus, and some of the most common mutations appear to be caused by the human immune system, rather than a virus that adapts better to infect hosts.

“With an increasing number of mutations documented, scientists are quickly trying to see if any of them can make the virus more infectious or deadly, as it is necessary to understand such changes as soon as possible,” said Francois Palux, lead author, said.

He added: “We used a new technique to determine whether viruses with the new mutation were actually transmitting at a higher rate, and we found that none of the candidate mutations appears to benefit the virus and enhance its spread.”

There are three ways that the coronavirus family will turn, including the new virus:

One way is by mistake when the virus repeats itself.

And another by interacting with another virus that infected the same cell.

The third is through someone’s own immune system.

For the study published on the bioRxiv.org review site, the team looked at virus genomics from more than 15,000 COVID-19 patients in 75 countries, and focused on 31 mutations that spread at least 10 times alone as the epidemic continued to spread.

Researchers devised a model for the evolutionary tree of the virus to see if a particular mutation became more common, but they found that most mutations are neutral, while others are beneficial or harmful to the virus, and for whom neutral and beneficial mutations can become more common when transmitted to other tuberculosis viruses.

There was no evidence that any of the common mutations increased the ability of the virus to spread, and in fact, most of them were neutral or “infected” with the virus.

Worldwide, more than 5.4 million people have been infected and more than 344,000 people have died, and in the United States alone, there are over 1.6 confirmed HIV infections and more than 97,000 deaths.
