Phylogenetic Analysis of SARS-CoV-2 Data Is Difficult

Benoit Morel et al.

Summary: Inferring reliable phylogenies from virus sequence data is difficult due to the large number of sequences and low number of mutations; rooting the inferred phylogeny with external outgroups or applying novel computational methods is not credible; automatic classification of current sequences into subclasses for molecular species delimitation is also not possible due to sequences being too closely related.

Estimated transmissibility and impact of SARS-CoV-2 lineage B.1.1.7 in England

Nicholas G. Davies et al.

Summary: A new variant of SARS-CoV-2 has emerged in England, with a higher reproduction number and potential for large resurgences of COVID-19 cases. Without stringent control measures, it is projected that COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths in England for the first 6 months of 2021 will exceed those in 2020. The variant has spread globally and exhibited similar transmission increases in Denmark, Switzerland, and the United States.

SARS-CoV-2 Variant of Concern 202012/01 Has about Twofold Replicative Advantage and Acquires Concerning Mutations

Frederic Grabowski et al.

Summary: The novel SARS-CoV-2 Variant of Concern (VOC)-202012/01, known as B.1.1.7, first identified in the UK in September 2020, has rapidly spread globally and is of concern due to its potential impact on vaccine effectiveness. The VOC has acquired significant mutations, including some that may compromise the binding of neutralizing antibodies, and it is essential to monitor its molecular evolution to understand its impact on the ongoing pandemic.

Lessons learned 1 year after SARS-CoV-2 emergence leading to COVID-19 pandemic

Kelvin Kai-Wang To et al.

Summary: The lack of modern medical management and vaccines could lead to the COVID-19 pandemic reaching the levels of past deadly outbreaks like the 1894 plague and 1918-A(H1N1) influenza pandemic. The presence of multiple coronaviruses with pandemic potential in animals, coupled with environmental factors like the mixing and selling of wild mammals with poor hygiene practices in urban markets, pose a significant threat to global health. The emergence of new viruses and the challenges of mass testing, contact tracing, treatment, and potential development of vaccine-resistant virus variants highlight the importance of global preparedness in combating infectious diseases.

SARS-CoV-2 variants combining spike mutations and the absence of ORF8 may be more transmissible and require close monitoring

Filipe Pereira

Summary: The SARS-CoV-2 Variant of Concern 202012/01 (VOC-202012/01) is a highly transmissible variant with a potential immune evasion ability due to truncation of the ORF8 gene. Although ORF8-deficient lineages are rare, they have been identified in relevant contexts and should be monitored closely.

Summary: The SARS-CoV-2 virus, originating in Wuhan, China, rapidly spread globally, with advanced whole-genome sequencing technologies providing valuable insights into the virus's evolution and epidemiology during the pandemic. Monitoring global SARS-CoV-2 lineages is useful for specific diagnosis, better care, and timely treatment, while characterizing circulating lineages helps understand virus genetic diversity and dispersion dynamics.

Hin Hark Gan et al.

Summary: The study reveals that new variants of the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein show enhanced binding affinity to the human ACE2 receptor, potentially increasing transmissibility. Structural analysis predicts variant combinations with both enhanced affinity and antibody resistance, highlighting the complexity of viral evolution and potential impact on intervention strategies.

Genomics and epidemiology of the P.1 SARS-CoV-2 lineage in Manaus, Brazil

Nuno R. Faria et al.

Summary: A new variant of concern, P.1, with 17 mutations including three spike protein mutations associated with increased binding to human ACE2 receptors, emerged in Manaus, Brazil between November 2020 and January 2021. Molecular analysis suggests P.1 may be 1.7- to 2.4-fold more transmissible and that previous infection may provide 54 to 79% protection against P.1 infection compared to other lineages. Enhanced global genomic surveillance of such variants is crucial for pandemic response.

One year into the pandemic: Short-term evolution of SARS-CoV-2 and emergence of new lineages

Fernando Gonzalez-Candelas et al.

Summary: Three new viral variants associated with extensive transmission have been identified during the COVID-19 pandemic, originating from the UK, South Africa, and Brazil. These variants, designated as variants of concern (VOCs), exhibit a high number of amino acid substitutions, raising concerns about potential changes in the evolution of the virus. Strengthened genomic surveillance, especially following vaccination campaigns, is essential to monitor the spread and impact of these VOCs.
