Please read carefully my previous post. Protein sequence != RNA sequence. I already stated that both coding RNA sequences are different. It is their product, the protein sequence, that is 100% identical in both sequence and structure. The p

While the spike protein is the same, there are differences in the overall formulation and delivery system. An additional booster shot from a different mRNA vaccine should be safe, but still needs to be evaluated. I wouldn’t be surprised if

A nitpick: signal peptides are also the same.

> This is a false assumption as they have different mRNA instructions Depending on what you mean by “mRNA instructions” that might not be the case. Both vaccine mRNAs encode exactly the same variant of the spike protein.

It’s just a basic thermal cycler, not a real-time one with fluorescence detectors. You would need something like a gel electrophoresis system and a transilluminator to check the results.

It depends on what you mean by “more advanced”. More lethal? Easier to transmit? In any case, the answer is “maybe”. By vaccinating, we cannot be sure of what is actually being selected for . We only have an idea of what is being selected

You got it right. Generally speaking, RNA viruses (without the “m”) have higher mutation rates than DNA ones. Therefore the possibility of a vaccine-evading mutation arising in their genome is higher as well. However, predicting a priori
