I don't know if this is based > on assembly- mapping error or a pcr error. I would try a single assembly of all three lines together, which should give a consensus. It may be a real variation in the population, or a sequencing error, or even as you say a PCR error. But I wouldn't be worrying about tiny differences like this unless they are in a region of interest (e.g. within a gene important for your research question). Alternatively, you could design primers and use "Sanger" capillary sequencing to check these regions in more detail. But I would need a strong reason to do all that work.
