SARS-COV-2 mutation and COVID-19 vaccine

Research

Vaccines seem to be the best solution according to all the information sources, but they are also saying the virus can escape from the virus because their RNA sequence can quickly mutate. We have accumulated quite a lot of data, and they are openly accessible. I found some good data sources today. If we can investigate the mutation trends on each gene, on every site of RNA sequence, over the entire time from the first report, can we predict which site has the largest possibility to mutate in the future? I believe this will be useful for people who develops vaccines.

I learned there will be a science fair near our schook next year in spring, the Mercer county science and engineering fair. It is affiliated with the ISEF, and this idea of predicting SARS-COV-2 gene mutation could be a very nice project to tackle some really difficult questions.

This is called a Manhattan plot, showing in logarithmic form the relative mutation frequencies.
