Result: The sequencing results showed and confirmed the HRM analysis that all samples were identified as G614 variant by the presence of missense mutation
A to G at position 23403 (NCBI Reference Sequence Wuhan-Hu-1/NC_045512.2 =
23403A > G) which causes changes in the amino acid, Aspartic Acid (D) into Glycine (G) at the
Spike residue 614 (
D614G) (Figure 3).
Discussion: The G614 variant carried the missense mutation
23403A > G (Reference Sequence = NC_04512.2), which allowed the higher melting temperature, as Guanine (G) base needs 3 hydrogen bonds to form a base pair, whereas Adenine (A) base needs only 2 hydrogen bonds.
