Omicrons (B.1.1.529) most recent common ancestor is AV.1. Relative to this MRCA, Omicron has 25 nonsynonymous and 1 synonymous mutation in Spike, and 13 nonsynonymous and 6 synonymous mutations in the entire rest of the genome. This is very strange & I don't understand.

I have re-done the alignments and counting up of mutations, and it's even weirder than i first said.
34 discontinuous changes (that are likely independent events). only one of them is silent. the rest change amino acid. see attached pictures. to quote @K_G_Andersen this is inconsistent with expectations from standard evolutionary theory.
this is just bonkers. there should be a butt-tonne of other silent passenger mutations hitching a ride with nonsynonymous changes under positive selective pressure. i am not invoking a sinister lab engineering event here, just something important that i do not know.
Spike is 3819 coding nucleotides. It has 33 NS and 1 S changes. The neighboring ORF3A-E-M-ORF6-ORF7A-ORF8-N-ORF10 genes have 4000 coding nucleotides. They have eight NS and three S changes. Spike is smaller and has four times the NS changes.

IMPORTANCE, ADVANTAGES AND CHARACTERISTICS OF BHAGWAT PURAN

It was Ved Vyas who edited the eighteen thousand shlokas of Bhagwat. This book destroys all your sins. It has twelve parts which are like kalpvraksh.
