In a major breakthrough in fight against Covid-19, state-sponsored Gujarat Biotechnology Research Centre on Wednesday completed genome sequencing for the virus. The scientists claimed that they have found three novel mutations.
Dr C G Joshi, director of GBRC, said that a total of nine mutations were found during the sequencing out of which six were reported elsewhere in the world. “But three are unique to our sequencing. It indicates that the virus is mutating fast. Mutation depends on multiple factors and further study is on,” he said.
