Result: Additionally, whereas a convergent
A701V mutation is also found in the B.1.526 and
S/E484K carrying lineage that was first identified in New York,
P681H is found in the
S/E484K and
S/N501Y carrying P.3 lineage first identified in the Philippines, and both
S/H655Y and
S/P681H are found in the highly mutated
S/E484K carrying A.VOI.V2 lineage first identified in Tanzanian travelers.
Result: Whereas some V2 and V3 sequences had, by March 2021, independently acquired the signature V1 mutations,
P681H and
T716I, some V1 and V2 sequences had independently acquired the V3 signature mutation,
H655Y, and some
