The frequency of defective genomes in Omicron differs from that of the Alpha, Beta and Delta variants

2022-08-03

Abstract excerpt

The SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant emerged showing higher transmissibility and possibly higher resistance to current COVID-19 vaccines than other variants dominating the global pandemic. In a March 2020 study performed in clinical samples, we found that a portion of genomes in the SARS-CoV-2 viral population accumulated deletions at the S1/S2 cleavage site (PRRAR/S) of the spike gene, generating a frameshift and appea...
