Numbers in parentheses were the number of unique amino acids in the corresponding gene; numbering was based on ORFs of Wuhan-Hu-1, except for spike; numbering in spike protein from 145 to 215 is Wuhan-Hu-1 numbering plus 1 due to insertion in Mu variant, while numbering of spike from 219 or higher is Wuhan-hu-1 numbering plus 4 due to the insertion of EPE residues in omicron.
