Evidence for Strong Mutation Bias toward, and Selection against, U Content in SARS-CoV-2: Implications for Vaccine Design

Alan M. Rice et al.

Summary: Large-scale re-engineering of synonymous sites in generating vaccines involves strategies such as codon deoptimization and maximizing CpG dinucleotide frequencies. Analysis of SARS-CoV-2 genome sequences reveals biased mutation towards U nucleotides and systematic differences in CpG content, providing insights for vaccine development.

Natural selection in the evolution of SARS-CoV-2 in bats created a generalist virus and highly capable human pathogen

Oscar A. MacLean et al.

Summary: The study suggests that SARS-CoV-2 has undergone limited significant adaptation to humans, with evidence of moderate positive selection concentrated in the early phases of the pandemic. In contrast, bat Sarbecoviruses show evidence of significant positive selection and an adaptive depletion in CpG composition. This indicates that the progenitor of SARS-CoV-2 likely acquired efficient human-human transmission capabilities through evolutionary history in bats, leading to the emergence of a relatively generalist virus.

Translational adaptation of human viruses to the tissues they infect

Xavier Hernandez-Alias et al.

Summary: When viruses infect different tissues, they adjust their translational machinery to adapt to the specific host environment; research shows that there is a correspondence between the codon usage of viruses and the translational machinery of their specific tropism; this correspondence is mainly seen in early viral proteins, and it could be useful for the development of antiviral therapies and vaccines.
