Genomic architecture and evolutionary relationship of BA.2.75: A Centaurus subvariant of Omicron SARS-CoV-2.

ABSTRACT: In this study, we explored the genomic architecture and phylogenomic relationship of BA.2.75, a subvariant of Omicron SARS-CoV-2. A set of 1468 whole-genome sequences of BA.2.75, submitted by 28 countries worldwide were retrieved from GISAID and used for finding genomic mutations. Moreover, the phylogenetic analysis of BA.2.75 was performed by using 2948 whole-genome sequences of all sub-variants of Omicron along with the Delta variant of SAS-CoV-2. We detected 1885 mutations, which were further grouped into 1025 missense mutations, 740 silent mutations, 72 mutations in non-coding regions, 16 in-frame deletions, 02 in-frame insertions, 8 frameshift deletions, 8 frameshift insertions and 14 stop-gained variants. Additionally, we also found 11 characteristic mutations having a prevalence of
