Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the strain of coronavirus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The epidemiology study of COVID-19 reveals the incidence, distribution, and control of disease in different groups of people over regions. This tutorial helps you to find the current gene diversity of SARS-CoV-2 through epidemiology study.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the strain of coronavirus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). It causes gene mutation in itself and the host organism, through receptor binding domain (RBD) and human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) complex. The mutation level increase when it transmitted to other organisms. Gene diversity of the SARS-CoV-2 can found by constructing a phylogenetic tree through multiple sequence alignment of genome sequences. This tutorial helps you to find the current gene diversity of SARS-CoV-2.
