Early this month, a study went up on the pre-print server bioRxiv. In it, the research team builds the case for “the emergence of a more transmissible form” of SARS-CoV-2, the virus behind the COVID-19 pandemic. Mutations, essentially tiny changes to the virus’ genetic code, may reflect on the overall structure of the spike protein.
