Mutation landscapes and signatures have been thoroughly studied in SARS-CoV-2. Here, we analyse those patterns and link their changes to the viral replication niche. Surprisingly, those patterns look to be also modified after vaccination. Hence, by deductive reasoning we identify the steps of the coronavirus infection cycle in which those mutations initiate.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
