Extended Data Fig. 1: Empirical basis for selecting 75% as a threshold to identify ‘characteristic mutations’ of a lineage.

(a) The frequency of mutations above 5% prevalence in P.1 (Gamma), BA.1 (Omicron), B.1.617.2 (Delta), B.1.351 (Beta), and B.1.1.7 (Alpha) variants. (b) Mutations present in >= 75% of all sequences in P.1 (Gamma), BA.1 (Omicron), B.1.617.2 (Delta), B.1.351 (Beta), and B.1.1.7 (Alpha) variants.
