The origins and molecular evolution of SARS-CoV-2 lineage B.1.1.7 in the UK

V. Hill, L. du Plessis, T. P. A. Peacock, D. Aggarwal, A. Carabelli, R. Colquhoun, N. Ellaby, E. Gallagher, N. Groves, B. Jackson, J. McCrone, A. N. O'Toole, A. Price, T. Sanderson, E. Scher, , A. Rambaut

This study investigates the origins and molecular evolution of SARS-CoV-2 lineage B.1.1.7 (Alpha) in the UK, finding that a chronically-infected immunocompetent individual likely drove its rapid mutation and spread.
