the number of viruses per lineage per week was normalized against the epidemiological curve derived from COVID-19 case counts and visualized using R. To further minimize biases only sequences categorized in the GISAID submission as obtained using a ‘baseline surveillance’ sampling strategy were incl...
(accession no. NC_045512.2) was considered as the reference sequence. The whole available data of SARS-CoV-2 full-length genome sequences (10,287,271 samples) and their amino acid sequences, including their geographical locations and submission dates of sample annotations, were downloaded in ...

Rapid transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant has led to record-breaking case incidence rates around the world. Since May 2020, the REal-time Assessment of Community Transmission-1 (REACT-1) study tracked the spread of SARS-CoV-2 infection in England through RT-PCR of self-administered...
Vaccination of SARS-CoV-2 convalescent individuals generates broad and potent antibody responses. Here, we isolate 459 spike-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) from two individuals who were infected with the index variant of SARS-CoV-2 and later boost
