Abstract: Phylogenetic analysis of SARS-CoV-2 genomes revealed the existence of eleven GISAID clades with GR (variant of the spike protein S-D614G and nucleocapsid protein N-G204R), GH (variant of the ORF3a coding protein ORF3a-Q57H<
Result: The time course of the phylogenetic analysis and clade distribution showed that clades G (Variant S-D614G), GH (Variant ORF3a-Q57H) and GR (Variant N-G204R) were the most prevalent in the first and second waves of viral introductions.
A Detailed Overview of Immune Escape, Antibody Escape, Partial Vaccine Escape of SARS-CoV-2 and Their Emerging Variants With Escape Mutations.
Discussion: Moreover, the mutation R203K/G204R was found to display a different protein structure morphology from the control and an enhanced intraviral interaction of R203K/G204R in the N and E proteins in molecular docking and protein structure prediction analysis.

Result: Consistent with this study, we identified R203K, G204R, S194L, and M234I in the nucleocapsid protein as shared mutations between Columbia and Rock Hill WWTP influents in January 2021 (Supplementary Table S3).
Result: In particular, R203K and G204R both had a mutation rate of 0.22, indicating that they were present in 22% of all sequences as of December 2020.

Result: Consequently, the absence of R203 residue is expected to have an immediate impact on the N protein folding and functionality, while any of the variations in position 204 of the protein (G204R, G204L, or G204H) lead only to subtle modifications (Figure 5).
Result: After the importation of B.1.1 lineages characterized by N:R203K and N:G204R mutations, community transmission massively occurred and gave rise to B.1.1.28 (S:V1176F) and B.1.1.33 lineages (ORF6:I33T and N:I292T), widely distributed in Brazilian regions along the first year of the pandemic.
Correlates of SARS-CoV-2 Variants on Deaths, Case Incidence and Case Fatality Ratio among the Continents for the Period of 1 December 2020 to 15 March 2021.
Result: The N_G204R mutation was reported at 22.31%, 75.69%, 46.59%, 52.36% and 76.01% in SARS-CoV-2 genome sequences isolated from Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe and South America, respectively.
