Predicting SARS-CoV-2 variant infectivity with biophysical principles
When the COVID-19 pandemic first began, we saw how quickly the SARS-CoV-2 virus evolved. New variants emerged with mutations that increased transmissibility or helped the virus evade our immune systems. But predicting which mutations would be most successful—and why—has remained a challenge.
