The research team found that despite the number of epitopes encompassing Omicron mutations are nonetheless notably higher than other virus variants, Omicron, like other variants, is still unlikely to escape human's T cell responses.

The team has developed a web-based platform by compiling SARS-CoV-2 T cell epitope data from immunological studies of recovered patients in hope to guide studies related to COVID-19 vaccines and diagnostics.

Mutant frequency trajectories exhibit complex dynamics due to linkage affects. Top left panel shows frequency trajectories of all mutant alleles, the lower three panels on the left show the trajectories of beneficial/neutral/deleterious mutants in blue/orange/red. The right panel shows their estimated fitness values using the proposed inference method. Vertical lines indicate the true fitness values.
