Comparison between genomic sequences of SARS-CoV 2 virus: Original versus P.1 variant.

In this paper, we bring a comparison study between the original genome sequence of SARS-CoV 2 virus, ID: MN908947, coming from China 2019, and sequences of SARS-CoV 2 virus - P.1 variant, coming from Brazil 2021. Using tools of stochastic processes and through the identification of each sequence as being a sample of a stochastic process, after finding the best model for each sequence, we build dendrograms using a metric introduced in [1] that show that the original sequence can be considered in a separated cluster when compared with the P.1 variant.
