HYDERABAD: India has the world s second largest number of Covid-19 cases but when it comes to genome sequencing of the novel coronavirus, the country s performance is shocking.
Of the more than 1.01 crore cases reported in India, only 4,238 novel coronavirus samples or just about 0.04 percent of all cases have been sequenced till now, as per the database of novel coronavirus genomes sequenced worldwide available with the GISAID Initiative.
Even this number is not evenly spread across the country s geography. While Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu have recorded third and fourth highest number of Covid-19 cases, a meager 3 and 36 virus samples have been sequenced from these states.
