    Snippet: Thus, we conclude that all mutations except E1206D increase accumulation of TEV-ÁNIb early in infection and that this effect was even stronger for double mutations. High levels of early accumulation are likely to occur for a virus variant that expands rapidly, and therefore suggest an increase in the within-host fitness of the evolved lineages. The mutations in the 6K1/CI proteolytic site were not observed in the wild-type virus, suggesting that.....
    Document: Thus, we conclude that all mutations except E1206D increase accumulation of TEV-ÁNIb early in infection and that this effect was even stronger for double mutations. High levels of early accumulation are likely to occur for a virus variant that expands rapidly, and therefore suggest an increase in the within-host fitness of the evolved lineages. The mutations in the 6K1/CI proteolytic site were not observed in the wild-type virus, suggesting that this is an instance of adaptive evolution contingent upon deletion of NIb.
