On the origin of Omicron’s unique Spike gene insertion

2022-06-06

Abstract excerpt

The emergence of a heavily mutated SARS-CoV-2 variant (Omicron; B.1.1.529/BA.1/BA.2) and its rapid spread globally created public health alarms. Characterizing the mutational profile of Omicron is necessary to interpret its shared or distinctive clinical phenotypes with other SARS-CoV-2 variants. We compared the mutations of Omicron with prior variants of concern (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta), variants of interest (...
