Molecular characterization of SARS-CoV-2 from Bangladesh: implications in genetic diversity, possible origin of the virus, and functional significance of the mutations.
Result: Beside these, two of the high frequency (86%) SNVs (R203K and G204R) occurred in COVID-19 diagnostic RT-PCR target and B-Cell predicted epitope regions, of which the later was predicted to cause altered function of the Table: R203K
Discussion: The second most frequent mutation in our analysis was a tri-nucleotide change resulting in two amino acid changes which are R203K and G204R in N protein.
Discussion: This finding is similar with other studies those reported R203K and G204R destabilizes N protein structure but may enhance interaction with SARS-CoV-2 Envelop protein that may promote viral release.
Delta spike P681R mutation enhances SARS-CoV-2 fitness over Alpha variant.

Diagnostic microbiology and infectious disease
Result: Mutations detected in the N protein of all samples analyzed were M1X, D3L, R203K, G204R and S235F.
Discussion: Other mutations detected in all samples analyzed, such as M1X, R203K and G204R, could affect the amplification efficiency of the N-gene target.
Evolution, Mode of Transmission, and Mutational Landscape of Newly Emerging SARS-CoV-2 Variants.
Dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 mutations reveals regional-specificity and similar trends of N501 and high-frequency mutation N501Y in different levels of control measures.
Method: For instance, if 1 week presented 30% of genomes with the mutation R203K, and the number of cases on Monday of that week was 100.
Method: In the case of MF mutation R203K, R203, and N501, we multiply the relative frequencies of the genomes with the state of interest (R203K, R203 or N501) in a determined week by the number of cases in the day.
Result: This explains why this mutation did not increases its frequency steadily and can be an evidence of constant competition between MFR203K and not-MFR203K.
Generation of a Novel SARS-CoV-2 Sub-genomic RNA Due to the R203K/G204R Variant in Nucleocapsid: Homologous Recombination has Potential to Change SARS-CoV-2 at Both Protein and RNA Level.
Result: Notably, SARS-CoV-2 R203K/G204R polymorphisms modify the predicted binding of putative HLA-restricted T-cell epitopes containing these residues (Supplemental Table 2).
Result: Of the 455,774 circulating variants there were 29 amino acid polymorphisms present in >5% of the deposited sequences (of a total of 9413 sites; Supplemental Table 1) including the spike D614G variant (B.1 lineage) that emerged early in the pandemic and the adjacent R203K/G204R variants (B.1.1 lineage) in the nucleocapsid protein that formed one of the main variants emerging from Europe in early 2020.
Result: The adaptive potential of differential expression of sgRNAs is supported by a recent study by Thorne and colleagues that demonstrates that the B.1.1.7
Clinico-Genomic Analysis Reveals Mutations Associated with COVID-19 Disease Severity: Possible Modulation by RNA Structure.
Result: Clade 20A defined by C14408T (Nsp12/RdRp) and A23403G (S: D614G) was seen in 58% of the samples, clade 19A defined by positions 8782C (Nsp3) and 14408C (Nsp12/RdRp) was seen in 38% and 20B denoted by positions C3037T (Nsp3: 106F); A23403G (S: D614G); C14408T (Nsp12/RdRp: P4715L) and G28881A and

Infection, genetics and evolution
Result: In addition, very high rate recurrent mutations exist at the following locations: spike protein; D614G, nucleocapsid phosphoprotein; S194L, R203K and G204R, ORF3a; Q57H and G251V, and ORF8; L84S.
Result: The 78% viral samples bearing the D614G and P4715L mutations also bears either the concurrent N protein R203K and G204R or the ORF3a Q57H muta
The Emergence of the New P.4 Lineage of SARS-CoV-2 With Spike L452R Mutation in Brazil.
Method: Next, in the set of genomes found, we verified all mutations, excluding those that define the B.1.1.28 lineage (C241T, F924F, P4715L, D614G, V1176F, R203K, R203R and G204R).
