Abstract Many variants of SARS-CoV-2 have emerged around the world. It is therefore important to understand its global viral evolution and the corresponding mutations associated with transmissibility and severity. In this study, we analyzed 112 whole genome sequences of SARS-CoV-2 collected from patients at Juntendo University Hospital in Tokyo and the genome data from entire Japan deposited in Global Initiative on Sharing Avian Influenza Data (GISAID) to examine the relationship of amino acid changes with the transmissibility and the severity of each strain/lineage. We identified 12 lineages, including B.1.1.284, B.1.1.214, R.1, AY.29, and AY.29.1, which were prevalent specifically in Japan. B.1.1.284 was most frequently detected in the second wave, but B.1.1.214 became the predominant lineage in the third wave, indicating that B.1.1.214 has a higher transmissibility than B.1.1.284. The most prevalent lineage during the fourth and fifth wave was B.1.1.7 and AY.29, respectively. In regard to the severity of identified lineages, B.1.1.214 was significantly lower than the reference lineage, B.1.1.284. Analysis of the genome sequence and other traits of each lineage/strain revealed the mutations in S, N, and NSPs that increase the transmissibility and/or severity. These mutations include S: M153T, N: P151L, NSP3: S543P, NSP5: P108S, and NSP12: A423V in B.1.1.284; S: W152L and E484K in R.1; S: H69del, V70del, and N501Y in the Alpha strain; S: L452R, T478K, and P681R in the Delta strain. Furthermore, it is suggested that the transmissibility of B.1.1.214 could be enhanced by the mutations N: M234I, NSP14: P43L, and NSP16: R287I. To address the issue of the virus evolution, it is necessary to continuously monitor the genomes of SARS-CoV-2 and analyze the effects of mutations for developing vaccines and antiviral drugs effective against SARS-CoV-2 variants.

Basic Characteristics of Mutations
  • Mutation Site: The specific location in a gene or protein sequence where a change occurs.
  • Mutation Level: The level at which a mutation occurs, including the nucleotide or amino acid level.
  • Mutation Type: The nature of the mutation, such as missense mutation, nonsense mutation, synonymous mutation, etc.
  • Gene/Protein/Region: Refers to the specific region of the virus where the mutation occurs. Including viral genes, viral proteins, or a specific viral genome region. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main
