One question: are CDC tracking the entire proteome of the virus? As in, resequencing the entire genome of each variant? Or are they only tracking changes in the portion of the genome that codes for spike protein?

One question: are CDC tracking the entire proteome of the virus? As in, resequencing the entire genome of each variant? Or are they only tracking changes in the portion of the genome that codes for spike protein?
This is important because, even though vaccines may be driving faster mutation of the spike protein, widespread infection-induced immunity is likely driving evolution of other parts of the virus’s phenotype.
scientific groups all over the world are tracking the genome and inferring the proteome. Your question indicates substantial sophistication. thanks for that. Always refreshing.
Agree that genome does not always reliably predict proteome.
