| CoVsurver |
CoVsurver is a Mutation Analysis tool of COVID-19. The server automatically determines the type of input (either protein or nucleotide) and compares the given input sequence to the closest reference sequence among current strains to find the present mutation. The analysis takes ~10 seconds per sequence in automatic mode. CoVsurver displays the list of amino acid changes, % amino acid identity, best reference hit, and clade information for the query sequence. The mutation summary table report is downloadable. |
