The preprint of our analysis of Spike D614G (Doug) in the context of the @CovidGenomicsUK genome sequences is out: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.07.31.20166082v1 … Work lead by @erikmvolz with @tomrconnor but builds on work and data from across the consortium.

The summary is that we do find evidence that D614G increases the rate of transmission even when accounting for potentially confounding factors like founder effects but it is hard to give a precise estimate of by how much. It doesn’t make the virus more (or less) pathogenic.

Our 1. #SARSCoV2 preprint by @junk_junk_junk Collab of @salkinstitute & @RyanLabUSC We show experimental lab confirmation for field observations that D614G is taking over the world. 5X more infectivity. Many thanks to @DanielleFong who funded this work.
