International Arbovirus Summit - Indonesia.

Mutation found in samples in Amravati and Yavatmal - Indian Express

“Both these mutations are in spike protein of the virus. They are not severe, but they increase infectivity. They can effectively bind with ACE-2 protein and enter host cell, and try to evade the immune response. A person exposed to E484K will require more neutralising antibodies to suppress the virus than a person who does not have this mutation. N440K exhibits similar trait." said Dr. Rajesh Pandey to Indian Express"

"CSIR-IGIB and SpiceHealth partner for sequencing positive samples of international travellers at the airport itself"

Delhi International Airport gets its first 'Genome Sequencing Lab'.

“CSIR-Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology (CSIR-IGIB) & SpiceHealth launched genome sequencing at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International airport to identify & contain the new mutant variant of #COVID19.”

Oxford Nanopore Technologies seminar, India

“Seminar on ‘Pandemic Preparedness: Lessons from Genomics and Lessons for Genomics’ addressed by Dr. Rajesh Pandey"

Small footprint mapping of a global Pandemic.

“In this Genotypic Webinar on small footprint mapping of a global Pandemic, Dr. Rajesh Pandey, has provided insights on how Nanopore sequencers are being used in IGIB to map the COVID 19 footprint.”

Covid-19 genome sequencing work at the IGIB covered in the news.

“Sequencing can strengthen genomic epidemiology, genetic variants linked with virulence, evolution and transmission pattern.”
