A study has revealed that the coronavirus in Bangladesh is mutating much faster than the world average.
According to the report, the coronavirus conversion rate in Bangladesh is 12.80 percent, while the coronavirus conversion rate in the world is 7.23 percent.
The research report was released at a Bangladesh Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (BCSIR) press conference on Sunday morning.
The report said that in the collected samples, the dominant variant was found to be G614 (the cause of glycine rather than aspartic acid at position 614 in the spike protein).
Of the 263 SARS-Cov-2 viruses obtained, 243 included clade GR, 18 clade GH, clade 3G, and one clade O.
Analysis of 273 SARS-Cove-2 genomes revealed that mutations occur at a total of 638 sites, including 356 non-synonymous amino acid substitutions.
The mutation rate in the SARS-Cove-2 virus obtained so far is 24.64 nucleotides per year.
Of the 103 nucleotide mutations in the spike protein gene, 53 non-synonymous amino acid substitutions occur, of which 5 are unique and found nowhere else in the world.
Repetition of 4 mutations was observed in 100% of the samples collected.
The results have already been published in p-print format and several research articles will be published in international journals shortly.
The research report was sent to some 50 Covid vaccine manufacturers around the world, including Synovac Research and Development Company Limited in China, Modern in the United States, and Oxford University in the United Kingdom.
It will also help vaccine companies to produce suitable vaccines for infected Kovid-19 in Bangladesh and BCSIR will be proud to be your partner.
So far, complete genetic designs for 325 coronaviruses have been revealed in the country. Among them, researchers at the BCSIR Genomic Research Laboratory have discovered the complete genetic blueprint of 263 corona viruses.
