Omicron mutations, related to Figures 2 and 7E
(A) Number of sequenced mutations per position. The line shows the number of mutations per residue, for high to low along the spike protein. In green are mutations D614G, which is fixed from early virus evolution and position 498, which became dominant only in Omicron. Red are mutations in Omicron identified earlier in multiple linages and blue are mutations with Omicron being the only lineage.
(B) Location of the S371L, S373P, and S375F mutations in the context of the conformation change occurring on binding lipid. Cartoons of the apo (blue) and lipid bound (pink) early pandemic RBD are shown. The lipid is shown in red.
