And all thanks to a breakthrough developmentSince the emergence of a new coronavirus infection, it has already gone through several mutations. Now it became known that only in the next four months we can expect 22 new “transformations” of the virus. Discuss
For example, scientists from Vir Biotechnology and the Institute of Genomics and Evolutionary Medicine at Temple University have developed a predictive model. It was based on mathematical calculations that showed possible future mutations of the coronavirus, Izvestia writes.
Experts clarified that their model is able to predict the appearance of new options about five months before their spread around the world. We are talking about a scale of 1%.
Interestingly, the development of scientists was able to accurately “predict retroactively” mutations L452R, P618R, E484Q. They became the reason for the emergence of the Indian strain “Delta”.
