[RESEARCH] COVID-19: Genetic network analysis traced origins of the pandemic
Researchers from Cambridge, UK, and Germany have reconstructed the early “evolutionary paths” of COVID-19 in humans – as infection spread from Wuhan out to Europe and North America – using genetic network techniques. The research also revealed three distinct “variants” of COVID-19 – type A, B and C.
