SARS-CoV-2 exhibits intra-host genomic plasticity and low-frequency polymorphic quasispecies

Timokratis Karamitros, Gethsimani Papadopoulou, Maria Bousali, Anastasios Mexias, Sotirios Tsiodras, Andreas F. Mentis

The paper analyzes intra-host genomic variations in SARS-CoV-2 from three patients, identifying SNVs and structural variations that may impact diagnostics and antiviral strategies.
