Characterization of B.1.351 VOC from International travelers arrived in India: The aligned SARS-CoV-2 sequences retrieved from the clinical samples of COVID-19 positive cases having travel history to the South Africa and Tanzania with the reference isolate of Wuhan-HU-1 (Accession No.: NC_045512.2) and other representative sequences. A) The mismatches in the nucleotide position of the alignment B) the tree for the alignment, were generated usingthe highlighter plot (https://www.hiv.lanl.gov/cgi-bin/HIGHLIGHT/highlighter.cgi). The nucleotide changes are marked indifferent colours. (For interpretation of the references to colour in this figure legend, the reader is referred to the Web version of this article.)
