The present disclosure relates to cellulase variants. In particular the present disclosure relates to cellulase variants having improved expression, activity and/or stability. Also described are nucleic acids encoding the cellulase variants, compositions comprising the cellulase variants, and methods of use thereof. 1. A cellulase variant , wherein the variant is a mature form having cellulase activity and comprising a substitution at one or more positions selected from the group consisting of: 5 , 18 , 19 , 28 , 30 , 32 , 35 , 38 , 79 , 80 , 89 , 100 , 102 , 103 , 104 , 105 , 111 , 117 , 119 , 121 , 125 , 126 , 133 , 137 , 138 , 139 , 140 , 141 , 143 , 150 , 158 , 162 , 177 , 180 , 181 , 182 , 185 , 186 , 188 , 190 , 191 , 192 , 193 , 196 , 201 , 207 , 225 , 226 , 228 , 229 , 230 , 233 , 234 , 236 , 240 , 243 , 245 , 251 , 252 , 258 , 267 , 268 , 274 , 292 , 293 , 303 , 304 , 306 , 307 , 313 , 319 , 322 , 328 , 331 , 338 , 340 , 346 , 361 , 362 , 363 , 364 , 365 , 371 , 384 , 394 , 396 , 400 , 406 , 407 , 414 , 417 , 422 , 427 , 431 , 433 , 436 , 440 , 441 , 443 , 444 , 445 and 447 , wherein the positions are numbered by correspondence with the amino acid sequence of a reference cellobiohydrolase II (CBH2) set forth as SEQ ID NO:3.2. The cellulase variant of claim 1 , wherein the variant comprises a further substitution at one or more further positions selected from:(i) a first group consisting of 63, 77, 129, 146, 147, 151, 153, 157, 161, 189, 194, 197, 203, 204, 208, 211, 237, 239, 244, 247, 254, 277, 281, 285, 288, 289, 294, 327, 339, 344, 356, 378, 382 and 405; or(ii) a second group consisting of 94, 98, 107, 120, 134, 144, 154, 178, 179, 206, 210, 214, 231, 232, 266, 272, 275, 291, 312, 316, 323, 343, 360, 380, 381, 386, 399, 410, 413, 416, 426, and 429,wherein the further positions are numbered by correspondence with the amino acid sequence of the reference cellobiohydrolase II (CBH2) set forth as SEQ ID NO:3.36-. (canceled)7. The cellulase variant of claim 1 ...
