Emerging mutation in SARS-CoV-2 spike: Widening distribution over time in different geographic areas

Background: Recently, differences in mortality rates of COVID-19 in different geographic areas have become an important subject of research because these different mortality rates appear to be associated with mutations that appeared in SARS-CoV-2. The part of the viral body called the spike protein...

Methods: A total of 193 sequences of spike SARS-CoV-2 were randomly retrieved from five different geographic areas and collection dates (from December 2019 until July 2020). Multiple sequence alignment for mutation and phylogenetic analyses was conducted using Bioedit, UniProt, and MEGA X. Results: We found 169 total mutations with 37 different mutations across the included samples.

Conclusion: In summary, we concluded that mutation had generated diversity of spike SARS-CoV-2 sequences worldwide and is still growing.
