SAN DIEGO (KGTV) As we attack the spread of the coronavirus with vaccines, our enemy is adapting, picking up a new mutation in its genetic code roughly every two weeks.
Scientists at Scripps Research have unveiled a new online tool to visualize the latest variants and track newly emerging mutations.
The mutation tracking tool is the latest addition to outbreak.info from the Center for Viral Systems Biology (CViSB) at Scripps. Through maps and charts, users can track the spread of variants like B.1.1.7 country by country, state by state.
