Fig. 5. SARS-CoV-2 Co-Evolving and Independent Single Nucleotide Variants (SNVs).

(A) SNV frequencies are plotted by the positions in the SARS-CoV-2 genome. The relative positions of five representative co-evolving SNV groups and amino acid consequences are shown. Variant analysis was based on 18,599 genomes from GISAID (May 29, 2020). (B) Five major co-evolving variant (CEV) groups showing different genome frequencies. Two CEV groups involved UTR variants (shown in red font). n.a.: not applicable, syn: synonymous
