We show that this gene is expressed during infection and contributes to the ability of the virus to hide from our innate immune responses. A review on many of the other mutations that lead to innate immune escape can be found here: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...
SARS-CoV-2 variant biology: immune escape, transmission and fitness
In late 2020, after circulating for almost a year in the human population, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) exhibited a major step change in its adaptation to humans. These...

We noticed that some variants of sars-cov-2 had evolved a sequence which allows them to express a new gene. This gene, which we named N.iORF3, encodes a shorter version of the virus’s existing Nucleocapsid gene.
