Nucleotide variations in the clinical sample of the case were observed using Base Variant analysis of the CLC Genomic Workbench 20.0.04 in comparison to the Wuhan Hu-1 (accession number: NC_045512.2). The transitions are marked with black coloured lines; transversions are marked with red-coloured lines and deletions with blue coloured lines. The amino acid changes specific to the Kappa variant of investigation B.1.617.1 in the spike protein region are mentioned in green. Nucleotide and amino acid changes are marked with single letter denotion. ‘/’ indicates the replacement sign.
