Mutations in the SARS-CoV-2 virus are taking place at a quicker pace in Bengaluru compared to the national average (8.4) and global average (7.3). The Bengaluru isolates have 27 mutations in their genomes and over 11 mutations per sample, according to an Indian Institute of Science (IISc) study.
The team conducted a thorough proteo-genomic investigation-series of analyses of SARS-CoV-2 isolates. The study which is published in Journal of Proteome Research also showed the host produces various proteins of their own. The study, conducted using nasal samples of COVID-19 positive patients, reveals that the host produces several proteins of their own as their body launches an immunological defence in response to the viral, according to an IISc statement.
