Genomic and proteomic mutation landscapes of SARS-CoV-2.

ABSTRACT: The ongoing pandemic caused by a novel coronavirus, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), affects thousands of people every day worldwide. Hence, drugs and vaccines effective against all variants of SARS-CoV-2 are crucial today. Viral genome mutations exist commonly which may impact the encoded proteins, possibly resulting to varied effectivity of detection tools and disease treatment. Thus, this study surveyed the SARS-CoV-2 genome and proteome and evaluated its mutation characteristics. Phylogenetic analyses of SARS-CoV-2 genes and proteins show three major clades and one minor clade (P6810S; ORF1ab). The overall frequency and densities of mutations in the genes and proteins of SARS-CoV-2 were observed. Nucleocapsid exhibited the highest mutation density among the
