Comparison of spike protein mutations of the BA.1, BA.2, and BA.3 lineages in the Omicron variant. (A) Diagram depicts the comparison of spike protein mutations of the BA.1, BA.2, and BA.3 lineages in the Omicron variant. Furthermore, it represents the comparison of mutations in different functional domains of the spike protein. The color given to each mutation indicates the percentage of this particular mutation in the total available sequences of that lineage (as of January 12, 2022). The scale bar depicts this percentage. (B) Mutations in the BA.1, BA.2, and BA.3 lineages spike protein are shown. The mutation positions in white color in (A) are represented in less than 0.5% of the analyzed sequences, and therefore they were omitted in the analysis. The online tool “SARS‐CoV‐2 (hCoV‐19) Mutation Reports” does not analyze insertions. Also, the BA.1 lineage contains ins214EPE in significant sequences. (C) The Venn diagram shows mutations in the spike protein of BA.1, BA.2, and BA.3 lineages
