SARS-CoV-2 is evolving adaptively in multiple regions of the genome

Scientists from the United States have recently assessed the evolutionary success of mutations accumulated across severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) genome. They have observed that the positively-selected mutations in the viral spike S1 subunit are primarily responsible for adaptive evolution. This indicates that the virus may undergo antigenic drift.
