CoVe-tracker

CoVe-tracker tracks and analyzes amino acid mutations across the SARS-CoV-2 pan proteome to support evolutionary surveillance and variant analysis.

Key Features:

• Comprehensive Mutation Tracking: Provides detailed information on amino acid mutations across the SARS-CoV-2 pan proteome, encompassing 44,139 specific mutations with protein-wise and country-wise counts.
• Temporal and Geographical Distribution: Supplies month-wise and country-wise distribution data for mutations to enable temporal and spatial analyses of viral change.
• Phylogenetic Lineage Analysis: Reports 2,065 phylogenetic assignments corresponding to named global outbreak (PANGO) lineages and documents 177,564 variants.
• Structural Projection: Projects mutation data onto protein 3D structures to contextualize amino acid changes in a molecular structural framework.
• Periodic Updates: Maintains regularly updated mutation and lineage datasets to reflect ongoing SARS-CoV-2 variant evolution.
• Variant Surveillance Application: Facilitates tracking and comparative analysis of closely related variants, exemplified by monitoring BA.4 and BA.5 PANGO lineages.

Scientific Applications:

• Viral Evolution Studies: Enables analysis of mutation patterns across the SARS-CoV-2 pan proteome to study evolutionary trajectories.
• Transmission Dynamics: Supports investigation of temporal and geographic mutation spread to infer transmission patterns.
• Pathogenicity and Vaccine Impact: Provides mutation and lineage data relevant to assessing potential impacts on transmissibility, pathogenicity, and vaccine efficacy.
• Public Health Surveillance: Supplies variant and lineage data for monitoring emerging threats and informing surveillance and response strategies.
