“ A giant study of more than 12,000 mutations in the novel coronavirus finds none of them has made a big difference in how easily it infects people, researchers reported Wednesday.
The mutations, found in more than 46,000 samples taken from 99 different countries, all appear to be neutral, the team of leading viral genetics experts reported in the journal Nature Communications.
"We find that none of the recurrent SARS-CoV-2 mutations tested are associated with significantly increased viral transmission," Francois Balloux, Lucy van Dorp and colleagues of University College London reported.”
