Rapid emergence of new SARS-CoV2 variants due to the virus’ ability to momentarily accelerate its evolutionary pace

New research led by the Doherty Institute has found the SARS-CoV-2 virus has the ability to momentarily accelerate its evolutionary pace, enabling variants to emerge more rapidly than other viruses.  

Recently published in Molecular Biology and Evolution, the team, led by University of Melbourne Dr. Sebastian Duchene, an Australian Research Council DECRA Research Fellow at the Doherty Institute and lead author on the paper, found the virus that causes the disease COVID-19 is actually undergoing short-lived mutational bursts and then returning to its ‘normal’ rate.

Dr. Duchene explained that usually all viruses mutate at a fairly constant rate, with most taking a year or more to develop a new variant.  

 ”However, what we were seeing with the variants of SARS-CoV-2, particularly the variants of concern, is that they have undergone many more mutations than we would expect under the normal evolutionary pace of similar coronaviruses,” Dr. Duchene said.  

“The Delta variant, for example, emerged within just six weeks from its ancestral form.”   


The Tribulation is commencing…

Please repent, carry your cross daily and accept the free gift of Jesus Christ’s Death on the Cross for payment for your sins.
