SARS-CoV-2 Mutation Tracking
The Bacterial Viral Bioinformatic Resource Center (BV-BRC) is proud to introduce a new resource with the goal of providing live tracking of SARS-CoV-2 mutations. This real-time resource will provide regular reports focused on “Variants and Lineages of Concern†(VoCs/LoCs), and will serve as an early warning system for variants that are increasing in frequency in specific geographical locations.

There are more organisms in the sea, a vital producer of oxygen on Earth, than planets and stars in the universe.
In a new book (coauthored with Venter), a Vanity Fair contributor presents the oceanic evidence that human activity is altering the fabric of life on a microscopic scale.
“Despite reducing the sequence space of possible trajectories, we conclude that streamlining does not constrain fitness evolution and diversification of populations over time. Genome minimization may even create opportunities for evolutionary exploitation of essential genes, which are commonly observed to evolve more slowly.â€
By watching “minimal†cells regain the fitness they lost, researchers are testing whether a genome can be too simple to evolve.
Two research teams warn that human genomic “bycatch†can reveal private information
The “pangenome,†which collated genetic sequences from 47 people of diverse ethnic backgrounds, could greatly expand the reach of personalized medicine.
Researchers release draft results from an ongoing effort to capture the entirety of human genetic variation.
