The coronavirus is changing rapidly in Bangladesh. The coronavirus conversion rate in the world is 7.23 percent, while in Bangladesh it is 12.60 percent. This information was provided by a team of researchers from the Genomic Research Laboratory of the Bangladesh Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (BCSIR). The coronavirus observation was made at a press conference on Sunday (September 7). The president of BCSIR highlighted the results of the study. Aftab Ali Sheikh. The Minister of Science and Technology, architect Yafes Osman, was the main guest of the press conference.
At the press conference, the researchers said that the coronavirus contains a total of 26 proteins. One of them is the spike protein, through which it attacks the carrier. By analyzing the corona samples, they found that glycine converted to aspartic acid at position 614 of the peak protein. The ‘G614’ variant has dominated in 100% of the cases. Due to this dominance, coronavirus infection is increasing in the country.
The researchers said the purpose of the study was to monitor coronavirus infection, mutation rate, genetic diversity, non-synonymous mutations, and genetic phylogeny in Bangladesh and use the study results to prevent the Kovid-19 epidemic. A total of 263 genome sequencing and corona data analysis were performed to monitor genetic diversity. The samples were collected between May 8, 2020 and July 31, 2020. At the press conference, Aftab Ali Sheikh said that the mutation rate per sample in the world is 7.23, which is 12, 60 lakh in the case of Bangladesh. In other words, the virus is changing much faster in Bangladesh than in any other country. Additionally, 53 non-synonymous amino acid substitutions occur in 103 nucleotide mutations in the spike protein gene, 5 of which are unique and found nowhere else in the world.
