This article is a Preprint
Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Preprints posted online allow authors to receive rapid feedback and the entire scientific community can appraise the work for themselves and respond appropriately. Those comments are posted alongside the preprints for anyone to read them and serve as a post publication assessment.

ABSTRACT
SARS-CoV-2 infection has been playing havoc with emerging omicron variants of concern (VoC). Here, we report sequencing of the omicron variant in 13 patients from India using Oxford Nanopore Technology (ONT) Minion, wherein a rapid amplicon based sequence analysis was performed to assess and compare with existing 34 mutations in spike glycoprotein. We highlight and discuss the nature of these mutations that are unique and common to other populations. This is perhaps the first report on omicron variants from India using a long read sequencing chemistry.
