Abstract:The global efforts to control COVID-19 are threatened by the rapid emergence of novel variants that may display undesirable characteristics such as immune escape or increased pathogenicity. The current approaches to genomic surveillance do not allow early prediction of emerging variations. Here, we derive Dimensions of Concern (DoC) in the latent space of SARS-CoV-2 mutations and demonstrate their potential to provide a lead time for predicting the increase of new cases in 9 countries across the globe. We lear… Show more
