Endonuclease-based genotyping of the RBM as a method to track the emergence or evolution of SARS-CoV-2 variants

Summary: Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemics, variants have emerged. Some of them display increased transmissibility and/or resistance to immune response. Most of the mutations involved in the functional adaptation are found in the receptor-binding motif (RBM), close to the interface with...
