NAGPUR: Thanks to the rapid whole genome sequencing (WGS) done by CSIR-Neeri, the Global Initiative on Sharing Avian Influenza and Coronavirus Data (GISAID) has published the SARS-CoV-2 WGS of 500 Covid positive samples.
The data would now be available for the scientific diaspora as well as any researcher for further study and understanding. The initiative helps in tracking newer variants of the virus and in developing deeper understanding for timely preventive measures.
