Omicron: a chimera of two early SARS-CoV-2 lineages

2022-01-28

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>The current global epidemiology of COVID-19 is now characterized by the emergence and rapid spread of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant on a global scale<sup>1,2</sup>. Despite the variant’s prompt predominance, there remain knowledge gaps in its origin and evolution history<sup>3–6</sup>. Here, we show that Omicron lineage SARS-CoV-2 is characterized by the feature of chimera. It was gene...
