Here, we report the near-complete genome sequence and the genetic variations of a clinical sample of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) harboring the N501Y mutation assigned to the B.1.1.

Characterization of the genetic variants of SARS-CoV-2 is crucial in following and evaluating it spread across countries. In this study, we collected and analyzed 3,067 SARS-CoV-2 genomes isolated from 55 countries during the first three months after the onset of this virus.

- * An analysis of 30,983 complete SARS-CoV-2 genomes from 79 countries revealed 3,206 variant sites, with only a small number of mutations (5.27%) showing prevalence over 1% across genomes.
- * The overall low mutation rate of SARS-CoV-2 compared to viruses like influenza or HIV suggests a better likelihood for developing an effective global vaccine.
Article Synopsis
- The study presents draft genome sequences for six SARS-CoV-2 strains, which causes COVID-19.
- These strains were collected from Moroccan patients through nasopharyngeal swabs.
- Analysis showed that all six genomes contained the spike D614G mutation, common in various strains globally.
