COVID and Computational Biology: A Review

Shalini Shukla

Abstract


The (COVID-19) Corona Virus 19 Disease is infecting millions of people and made several billions to stay at home under Lockdown. The disease has caused global pandemic. The nano-sized virus is threatening the entire human race. It is posing mere burden to the Public, Government, and the health care sectors. The COVID-19 virus is a novel virus, after deep sequencing from samples done by several researchers, and scientist form the patients lower respiratory tracts, resembles to the earlier known virus (SARS-CoV) Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus with atleast 70% similarity in genetic sequence to SARS-CoV. Hence the virus is named as 2019 novel corona virus or (SARS-CoV 2). Ever since the first report of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID19) at Wuhan, China in December 2019, it has affected over 200 countries around the world with several million cases and more so many deaths. The review paper discuss about the role of Computational Biology to combat COVID-19 virus.

Keywords
