Abstract excerpt
Genetic analyses showed nearly 30 amino acid mutations occurred in the spike protein of the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2. However, how these mutations occurred and changed during the generation and development of Omicron remains unclear. In this study, 6.7 million (all publicly available data from 2020/04/01 to 2022/04/01) SARS-CoV-2 genomes were analyzed to track the origin and evolution of Omicron variants and...
