TL;DR: A newly arisen lineage of SARS-CoV-2 (designated 501Y.V2) was identified in South Africa after the first wave of the epidemic in a severely affected metropolitan area (Nelson Mandela Bay) that is located on the coast of the Eastern Cape province.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a new SARS-CoV-2 lineage (501Y.V2) characterised by eight lineage-defining mutations in the spike protein, including three at important residues in the receptor-binding domain (K417N, E484K and N501Y).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the neutralization of a non-VOC variant with the 501Y.V2 VOC (also known as B.351) using plasma collected from adults who were hospitalized with COVID-19 during the two waves of infection in South Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Renewing Felsenstein’s phylogenetic bootstrap in the era of big data
Frédéric Lemoine,Jean-Baka Domelevo Entfellner,Eduan Wilkinson,Damien Correia,M. Davila Felipe,T. de Oliveira,Olivier Gascuel +6 more
TL;DR: A new version of the phylogenetic bootstrap in which the presence of inferred branches in replications is measured using a gradual ‘transfer’ distance rather than the binary presence or absence index used in Felsenstein’s original version is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
