Abstract excerpt
The SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant (B.1.617.2), initially classified as a variant of concern due to its enhanced transmissibility and vaccine-escape mutations, underwent further genomic changes following the emergence of the Omicron variant (B.1.1.529). This study investigates the genomic differences in Delta variant spike gene sequences collected before and after the emergence of Omicron. A total of 190 sequences were...
