The insertion/deletion (indel) mutation profiles of SARS-CoV-2 variants, including Omicron, remain unclear. We compared whole-genome sequences from various lineages and used preserved indels to infer the ancestral relationships between different lineages. Thirteen indel patterns from twelve sites were seen in ≥ 2 sequences; six of these sites were located in the N-terminal domain of the viral spike gene. Preserved indels in the coding regions were also identified in the non-structural protein 3 ...[more]
