How do you count the # of independent traits a mutation affects (i.e. its degree of pleiotropy)? A yeast cell has thousands of measurable features (e.g. gene expression levels) that

TROUBLESOME—The new variants that each have the tricky antibody-evading E484k mutation are what worries me.This Science piece summarizes what I’ve been warning last 2 weeks w/ the new South Africa

The new and improved http://CoVariants.org is here! We're hoping to make this a one-stop location to track not only the 'headline' variants, but many different #SARSCoV2 mutations & variants that
