Pune: Scientists in the Insacog Biotechnology Department (SARS-COV-2 India’s genomic consortium) who work on the sequencing of the genome of Covid’s positive clinical samples have said that together with the original Omicron variant (B.1.1.529), his siblings (subn.
-Lankaage ) BA.1 dominant together circulates and quickly replaces the Delta variant in Maharashtra and several other countries.
Omicron also has two more sub-genensur – BA.2 and BA.3.
“In some sequencing running clinical samples, we can see the existence of more sub-schedule BA.1 now than the original omicron strain,” said a senior scientist to Ti.
“Because the sub-genealogy belongs to the same family, this sample is considered a positive omicron,” said the scientists.
Among the three Omicron sub-lines, scientists also pay attention to the existence of BA.2 in the genome sequencing test.
“But this presence is relatively too low.
We have not identified the sub-genealogy of BA.3 Omicron in India,” said another virology in the work.
Omicron is very contagious and is the main force in the current surge in cases throughout the country.
So far, most patients have shown a very mild disease and relatively lower hospitalization needs.
Read also siblings that cannot be detected by Imports of RT-PCR Kit: Civilians who are difficult to understand (sub-genealogy) from the Omicron variant, BA.2, cannot be taken by the imported RT-PCR kit has drop genes, researchers are involved in Tracking viruses in India said on Sundays.
Insacog reports the supervision of the SARS COV-2 genome throughout the country through sample sequencing from Sentinel site and issued a detailed district analysis for several countries, including Maharashtra and Kerala.
The diagnostic accuracy of the RPT-PCR test that is routinely used and the AG-RDT) diagnostic test does not seem to be affected by Omicron.
This means the standard RT-PCR or antigen kit that is able to detect Covid infection caused by Omicron and the third sub-lineage of variants.
But filtering the possibility of the omicron case of daily positive cases using the RT-PCR-S-Gen target method cannot be fully relied on because the available evidence shows that sub-linear ba.2 cannot be taken using this RT-PCR-SGTF kit.
Also read the test kit can not see Omicron’s siblings that are difficult to understand (sub-pedigree) from the omicron variant, BA.2, cannot be taken by the imported RT-PCR kit has a drop s-gen, researchers are involved in tracking viruses in India on Sunday.
Variants have three sub-lines of BA.1, BA.2, and BA.3.
“According to whom, sub-genealogy of BA.1 Omicron accounted for 99% of the order, and as a whole, more than 95% of the Omicron variants.
The procedure sequence includes the elimination of 69-70 in genes in most countries that reported the omicron surge,” said officials Ministry of Health United.
However, the initial estimate of the severity of the disease has been lower than seen in the previous outbreak.
Whether this initial observation can be generalized to non-immune subjects that are older unclear and the threat level is still considered high, DBT officials have said in their latest bulletins in Omicron and the sub-linax.
