Genetic diversity and evolutionary dynamics of the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 in Morocco

In conclusion, our analysis highlights the unique genetic diversity of the Omicron variant in Moroccan SARS-CoV-2 genomes, with multiple introductory sources and the emergence of highly transmissible clades. The distinctiveness of the Moroccan strains compared to global ones underscores the importance of ongoing surveillance and understanding of local genomic dynamics for effective response strategies in the evolving COVID-19 pandemic.PMID:37635364 | DOI:10.1080/20477724.2023.2250942
