Phylogenomic characterization of the 2022 outbreak of monkeypox virus—The importance of sustained genetic surveillance

The authors speculated that such gene loss during secondary transmission resulted from microevolution of the virus during human-to-human transmission. [...]it has also found evidence of accelerated evolution and genomic heterogeneity within single patients. [...]there is a need to characterize these...

Description
Summary:The authors speculated that such gene loss during secondary transmission resulted from microevolution of the virus during human-to-human transmission. [...]it has also found evidence of accelerated evolution and genomic heterogeneity within single patients. [...]there is a need to characterize these mutations in functional studies.
