The Mu genome has a total number of 21 mutations, including 9 amino acid mutations, all of which are in the virus's spike protein code: T95I, Y144S, Y145N, R346K, E484K or the escape mutation, N501Y, D614G, P681H, and D950N. [10] It has an insertion of one amino acid at position 144/145 of the spike protein, giving a total mutation YY144 ...
The potential emergence of a SARS-CoV-2 variant that is moderately or fully resistant to the antibody response elicited by the COVID-19 vaccines may necessitate modification of the vaccines. [335] The emergence of vaccine-resistant variants is more likely in a highly vaccinated population with uncontrolled transmission.
It has mutations in the gene encoding the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein [6] causing the substitutions T478K, P681R and L452R, [7] [8] which are known to affect transmissibility of the virus as well as whether it can be neutralised by antibodies for previously circulating variants of the COVID-19 virus.

BA.2.86 was first reported by Denmark and Israel. [1] [11] On 18 August 2023, when only six cases had been reported from four countries (Denmark, Israel, the United Kingdom and the United States), the British healthcare authorities noted that its almost simultaneous appearance in several countries still operating detailed genomic surveillance indicated that it likely already was spreading more ...
Here's what experts are saying about those findings and how they might affect the COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to develop vaccines and treatments.
The continued spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus has spawned a Greek alphabet of variants - a naming system used by the World Health Organization to track concerning new mutations of the virus that ...
On February 18, 2021, the Department of Health of the Philippines confirmed the detection of two mutations of COVID-19 in Central Visayas after samples from patients were sent to undergo genome sequencing. The mutations were later named as E484K and N501Y, which were detected in 37 out of 50 samples, with both mutations co-occurrent in 29 out ...
Just as the rollout of two Covid-19 vaccines (Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna) started in the United States, reports of new Covid-19 virus mutations began to make headlines. First, it was the UK ...
