The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus demonstrates significant genomic diversity and plasticity within its hosts and has regions in its genome that are prone to genomic alterations – including a potential recombination hotspot – according to a pioneering study by scientists at the Hellenic Pasteur Institute (EIP), in collaboration with Professor of epidemiology at the Athens University Medical School, Sotiris Tsiodras, ANA reports.
The publication of the study is expected in the near future and the research is available at https://www.pasteur.gr/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/SARS-CoV-2-exhibits-intra-host-genomic-plasticity-and-low-frequency-polymorphic-quasispecies..pdf
