Variant Analytics of the Sars-Cov-2 Genome in South Karnataka Revealed Significance for Drug Resistance
Abstract
The SARS-CoV-2 virus is the vital cause of the pandemic. Combating COVID-19 requires a vaccine design to identify the basic variant patterns, i.e., point mutations and Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNPs). Identifying possible variants in the genome of SARS-CoV-2 from a global perspective is the basis for creating a database of Mut.-SNP.-SARS-CoV-2.This study involves selecting the data of the SARS-CoV-2 genome in south Karnataka. The variant analysis resulted in 19 novel variants contributing to the mechanism of drug resistance.
