Protein detail:
| Protein name | ORF8 protein |
| Uniprot protein ID | P0DTC8 |
| Protein length | 121 amino acids |
| Protein description | The SARS-CoV-2 ORF8 gene spans 366 nucleotides (nt), is located between position 27,894 and 28,259 of the virus genome, following the ORF7b and preceding the N genes, respectively. The ORF8 gene is part of a hypervariable genomic region of - 430 bp in length that has been recognized as a recombination hotspot, also highly susceptible to deletions and nt substitutions. ORF8 protein comprehends an N-terminal signal peptide for transmembrane (TM) import and secretion, an internal -sandwich core and a C-terminal TM region followed by a stretch of basic residues. |

| Evidence | We identified 2200 distinct genome variants which are recorded in Table 1 . The most common, high impact variants were 10818delTinsG, 2772delCinsC, 14159delCinsC and 2789delAinsA. The frequency of each unique variant type can be found in Table 2 , which outlines the locus of all SNPs with over 50 instances. |
