Potential BA.1*/BA.2 Recombinant with Likely Breakpoint at NSP3/NSP4 (9 Seqs in Japan, Canada and India) #522
Comments
9 sequences as of 2022-04-10, and newly found in India-Rajastan and Canada. |
I think this is a recombinant that is worth assigning even though it doesnt hit the minimum sequence numbers due to:
|
I came across a few other potential BA.1+BA.2 recombinants, mainly from India, and also among imported cases from Japan, Canada, etc. Those potential recombinants all have similar breakpoints like #522; they also have the conserved mutation 25416T (many of them also have 22792C), but they don't cluster on Usher tree.
|
Just found from @corneliusroemer 's other proposals that C25416T is a common BA.2 mutation in India and a few other regions. Problem solved I suppose. |
We saw a sequence that belongs in this group in late February in Sydney. EPI_ISL_11993540 hCoV-19/Australia/NSW-ICPMR-23049/2022 |
Thanks @c19850727 We've added this as XU |
Just wanted to note briefly that the two Canada sequences turned up by the cov-spectrum query also have quite a few other mutations that distinguish them from the India, Japan & Australia sequences, and are placed a lot farther out on the branch of miscellaneous BA.1/BA.2 recombinants in the UShER tree. And I see @chrisruis didn't include the Canada sequences in the designated sequences, so, good. :) |

Description
Recombinant between: BA.1* & BA.2
Earliest sequence: 2022/1/20 (Japan ex-India)
Most recent sequence: 2022/3/4 (India-Maharashtra)
Countries circulating: India (3 seqs in Gurajat and 2 seqs in Maharashtra), Japan (1 seq from imported case with travel history to India)
Likely breakpoint: between 6518 and 9343 (NSP3 or NSP4).
Conserved Nuc mutations (those in red frames are likely from the donor from the BA.1 side):
Cov-spectrum query: A2832G, C25416T, T22792C, T5386G, G5924A, 29510C
Evidence
Usher tree:
(The neighboring branch is XL.)
