Mutations in spike protein in the VOC lineage in England in relation to the first VOC genome collected in September 20, 2020 (GISAID sequence accession ID: EPI_ISL_601443): (A) Dots denote genomes collected in a given date (horizontal axis) with a respective number of novel (amino acid-level) mutations in relation to the first VOC genome (vertical axis). The number of the genomes with a given number of novel mutations is provided as gray numbers next to a brace. (B) The average number of novel (amino-acid level) mutations in a VOC lineage sequence (weekly average).
