The coronavirus is changing its form the fastest in Bangladesh in the world. This information was provided by the Bangladesh Science and Industry Research Council (BCSIR) by genome sequencing.
On Sunday (September 8) in the auditorium of the Bangladesh Council of Science and Industry (BCSIR), the briefing of the Kavid-19 genome sequencing report of the BCSIR Genomics Research Laboratory was held by BCSIR President Prof. Dr. Maryland. Aftab Ali Sheikh gave this information.
Professor Dr. Maryland. Aftab Ali Sheikh said that a total of 263 data analysis and genome sequencing of the SARS-Cov-2 virus were carried out to monitor the genetic diversity of Coronavirus Disease-19 (Cavid-19). The samples were collected from May 8 to July 31 of this year.
Analyzing the complete genome sequencing data for 300 viruses in eight divisions of the country, BCSIR said that the mutation rate per sample worldwide is 7.23, but in Bangladesh it is 12.60. As a result, the SARS Kavid 2 virus constantly changes its characteristics here. Scientists have found 4 repeat mutations in all samples.
The purpose of the study was to look at virus infection, mutation rate, genetic diversity, non-synonymous mutations, and genomic phylogeny. Use the study results to play an effective role in preventing the Kavid-19 epidemic.
Of the 103 nucleotide mutations in the spike protein gene, 53 are non-synonymous amino acid substitutions, 5 of which are unique and do not exist anywhere else in the world. In 100% of the samples collected, 4 mutations were observed. The results of the study have been published in print. Several research articles will soon be published in international journals.
