Researchers Identify Mutations of Delta, Delta Plus Variants

Findings help explain COVID-19 reinfections, Delta variant infections despite vaccination efforts. Using bioinformatics tools and programming, researchers identified five specific mutations that are far more prevalent in Delta Plus infections compared to Delta infections, including one mutation, K417N, that is present in all Delta Plus infections but not present in nearly any Delta infections. The findings provide important clues to researchers about the structural changes to the virus recently and highlight the need to expand the toolbox in the fight against COVID-19.
