Abstract

The SARS-CoV-2 virus, responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, has undergone significant genomic mutations since its emergence in late 2019. Understanding these mutations is crucial for tracking the virus's evolution, assessing vaccine efficacy, and developing therapeutic strategies. This study provides an early analysis of the SARSCoV-2 genome mutational landscape, focusing on single nucleotide variations (SNVs) and their implications. Through the examination of global genomic data, the research identifies prevalent mutations and their distribution across different viral genes. The findings highlight the dynamic nature of the virus and underscore the importance of continuous genomic surveillance in managing the pandemic.
