Underlying variant roles in disease epidemiology: SARS-CoV-2 genomic variations from Gujarat
Author(s): Lydia Hopkins*
In the course of its evolution, humanity has experienced a number of pandemics. The list includes a number of historical occurrences, such as the measles, Ebola, SARS, and Middle East respiratory disease (MERS), among others. The most recent variation on this is coronavirus disease 2019, often known as COVID-19, which is brought on by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). As of August 18, 2020, COVID-19 had killed 0.7 million people worldwide and afflicted over 21 million people from over 180 nations. Genomic technologies have made it possible for us to comprehend the genetic make-up of pathogens as well as their virulence, evolution, and rate of mutation, among other things. More than 83,000 viral genomes have so far been stored in open databases like GISAID and NCBI. India is currently the third-most severely impacted nation by COVID-19, with 2.7 million .. Read More»
