The alternation between ‘classic’ and surprising periods of evolution of #SARS-CoV-2 continues, and we studied a panel of virus with large diffusion worldwide, including JN.1!
I share this short video segment (in prep for a course) to give context on the impact of some variants: youtu.be/HStoiF2kVUg

Animation showing the major SARS-CoV-2 lineage that circulated, using France as an example.

Very happy to share this work on #SARS-CoV-2 evolution now published in Nature Communications, a collaboration with the @Virus_Immunity lab at Institut Pasteur and many great colleagues. Thanks a lot to all !
