The genes of SARS-CoV-2 are in RNA. Viruses with RNA genomes tend to mutate faster than do viruses with DNA genomes. For example, a new influenza vaccine is needed every year due to mutations, and a single drug against HIV quickly becomes ineffective due to mutations. It is no surprise that SARS-CoV-2 is mutating.

Black spots are mutations of concern in SARS-CoV-2 spike protein reported by UK scientists in December, 2020. RNA viruses mutate quickly so mutations are expected. These mutations may speed up contagion, but are unlikely to cause more severe COVID-19 and unlikely to reduce vaccine effectiveness.

Mutations in Coronavirus Spike Protein

by Eric Martz
Black spots are mutations of concern in SARS-CoV-2 spike protein reported by UK scientists in December, 2020. RNA viruses mutate quickly so mutations are expected. These mutations may speed up contagion, but are unlikely to cause more severe COVID-19 and unlikely to reduce vaccine effectiveness. >>> Visit this page >>>
