BIOL368/S20:Sahil Patel Week 14

Purpose

The purpose of this assignment was to perform an exploration on whether the SARS CoV 2 S glycoprotein has undergone mutation as it continues to spread globally. From there, we drew conclusions as to what this says about the current state of this virus, evolutionarily and how this might affect vaccine development.

Methods/Results

Selected three countries based off the following criteria:
- Relatively equidistant from one another
- Similar Latitudes
- Different Population Densities
Countries selected were: USA, Spain, South Korea
4 Strains were selected at random from each of the countries
- Derived from NCBI SARS-CoV-2 Sequences
Spike protein sequence data was aligned and used to make Phylogenetic Trees
- Using Phylogeny.fr

Tree for USA

Tree for Spain

Tree for South Korea
- No tree was able to be generated, due to lack of any differences
Cumulative Tree

Cluster Alignment showed very few discrepancies:

Conclusion

From this data, we determined that the RBD region did not change as the virus traveled from country to country. The results found in this exploration make sense due to the lack of selective pressure present on SARS CoV 2, as it has had no trouble spreading. Because it is easily transmissible, the emergence of COVID-19 has took the world by storm and has led to much research that is currently being formed. As we wait for vaccine development, biologists must perform the critical task of uncovering vital information on the structure/function of the virus, specifically in the spike protein RBD. To help in whatever way we can, we carried out a basic trial to test whether the virus has mutated as it has crossed oceans; however, we found no evidence to support this. This will make vaccine development much easier. If the virus does mutate at some point in the future, this will lead to further complications and so monitoring of this data is very important and therefore databases like GenBank must continue to be updated.
