The paper introduces a resource for tracking SARS-CoV-2 mutations by location, date, and gene, with case studies on RBD SNVs, diagnostic primer sensitivity, and lineage emergence.
The paper traces the origin of pangolin CoV genomes with a Spike RBD similar to SARS-CoV-2 to a single batch of smuggled pangolins and highlights the need for transparency in genome assembly pipelines.
