New BA.1 lineage missing Spike N440K, Spike K417N mutations #368
Comments
Hi, in your file New_BA_1_Dec12_def.txt you have listed EPI_ISL_6699730. This spike protein sequence, as present in GISAIDs spikeprot1209.fasta file does, yes, not contain Spike N440K and Spike K417N mutations but this is because that segment (410 to 459) of the sequence is simply XXXXXXXXX (alignment in BA1.align.txt) ! Did you check if the other sequences have this segment covered by sequence ? |
Closed with same arguments as for #364 This issue does not seem to contain any new evidence. |
Hello,
|
I never mentioned ambiguous sites. Backfilled nucleotides are usually not ambiguous. |
Earliest sequences: EPI_ISL_6795189 (2021-11-12), EPI_ISL_6795188.2 (2021-11-12) - detected in South Africa
Predominantly circulating in USA (Texas), England, Scotland, South Africa.
Defining mutations: -Spike_N440K, -Spike_K417N, Spike_H69del,Spike_V70del,NSP5_P132H,N_R203K,Spike_G142D,NSP3_A1892T,N_P13L,NSP3_L1266I,N_R32del,NSP4_T492I,NSP6_L105del,Spike_L212I,Spike_Y505H,NSP6_G107del,NSP6_I189V,N_G204R,Spike_V143del,NSP6_S106del,NSP3_S1265del, NSP14_I42V, Spike_Y144del,Spike_ins214EPE, N_S33del, Spike_S375F, N_E31del, NSP3_K38R, Spike_N211del, Spike_L981F,NSP12_P323L,Spike_Y145del
Supporting entries in GISAID: 785 (As of Dec 12/2021)
Supporting entries in GISAID without ambiguous bases: EPI_ISL_7415721,EPI_ISL_7415830,EPI_ISL_7415731,EPI_ISL_7415770,EPI_ISL_7415887,EPI_ISL_7415723,EPI_ISL_7415774,EPI_ISL_7415887
Phylogenetic Analysis conducted through NJ using sequences containing unambiguous bases shows this potentially new lineage forming a clade separately from other BA.1 sequences.
Attaching file containing supporting entries in GISAID: 785 (As of Dec 12/2021)
New_BA_1_Dec12_def.txt
Proposed lineage name: BA.3 (?)
Hope this is of help.
