Analysis of the mutation dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 genome in the samples from Georgia State of the United States.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The COVID-19 is caused by a novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which started from China. It spread rapidly throughout the world and was later declared a pandemic by the WHO. Over the course of time, SARS-CoV-2 has mutated for survival advantages, and this led to multiple variants. Multiple studies on mutations identification in SARS-CoV2 have been published covering extensive sample areas. The purpose of this study was to limit the sample area to the Georgia state in the U.S. and to analyze the genome sequences for mutation profiling across the genome and origin of variants.

Methods

The genome sequences (n = 3,970) were obtained from the NCBI database as of June 12, 2021, with the filter of being complete sequenced genomes, homo-sapiens host, and only from Georgia Stat
