Mutation: the changing of the structure of a gene, resulting in a variant form that may be transmitted to subsequent generations, caused by the alteration of single base units in DNA, or the deletion, insertion, or rearrangement of larger sections of genes or chromosomes.
Since late 2020, several prominent SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern have emerged, harboring specific mutations which increase viral transmissibility Delta variant) and which appear to reduce t...
