Abstract excerpt
The SARS-CoV-2 'Omicron' strain, with 15 mutations in the receptor binding domain (RBD), was detected in South Africa and rapidly spread worldwide. SARS-CoV-2 ORF9b protein by binding to the TOM70 receptor and ORF8 protein by binding to MHC-I, IF3 receptors inhibit the host's immune response. In this study, genomics variations were evaluated for 96 samples isolated from Iran from March to July 2022 using the...
