Schematic representation of Omicron sublineages and recombinant hybrids: Omicron variant mutates to different sublineages i.e. BA.1, BA.2, BA.3, BA.4, and BA.5. XE subvariant is the hybrid of BA.1 and BA.2. The Deltacron variants i.e. XD and XF is the inter-VOC hybrids formed due to recombination between Omicron BA.1 and Delta variant.
