In order to understand the causes and consequences of the observed SARS-CoV-2 molecular diversity, a variety of recent studies investigated the molecular evolution of this virus during its expansion in humans. In general, this virus evolves with a moderate rate of evolution, in the order of 10\u22123\u201310\u22124 substitutions per site and per year, which presents continuous fluctuations over time. Despite its origin being frequently associated with recombination events between related coronaviruses, little evidence of recombination was detected, and it was mostly located in the spike coding region. Molecular adaptation is heterogeneous among SARS-CoV-2 genes. Although most of the genes evolved under purifying selection, several genes showed genetic signatures of diversifying selection, including a number of positively selected sites that affect proteins relevant for the virus replication. Here, we review current knowledge about the molecular evolution of SARS-CoV-2 in humans, including the emergence and establishment of variants of concern. We also clarify relationships between the nomenclatures of SARS-CoV-2 lineages. We conclude that the molecular evolution of this virus should be monitored over time for predicting relevant phenotypic consequences and designing future efficient treatments.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/genes14020407","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,6]],"date-time":"2023-02-06T04:08:07Z","timestamp":1675656487000},"page":"407","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":40,"title":["Molecular Evolution of SARS-CoV-2 during the COVID-19 Pandemic"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Luis Daniel","family":"Gonz\u00e1lez-V\u00e1zquez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Biomedical Research Center (CINBIO), University of Vigo, 36310 Vigo, Spain"},{"name":"Department of Biochemistry, Genetics and Immunology, University of Vigo, 36310 Vigo, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0516-2717","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Miguel","family":"Arenas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biomedical Research Center (CINBIO), University of Vigo, 36310 Vigo, Spain"},{"name":"Department of Biochemistry, Genetics and Immunology, University of Vigo, 36310 Vigo, Spain"},{"name":"Galicia Sur Health Research Institute (IIS Galicia Sur), 36310 Vigo, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S9","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1440-1843.2003.00518.x","article-title":"SARS: Epidemiology","volume":"8","author":"Xu","year":"2003","journal-title":"Respirology"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1814","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa1211721","article-title":"Isolation of a Novel Coronavirus from a Man with Pneumonia in Saudi Arabia","volume":"367","author":"Zaki","year":"2012","journal-title":"N.
