Dr. ukasz Rbalski (pictured) from Gdask University is the first in Poland to obtain the full genetic sequence of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, isolated directly from a Polish patient. Adam Warawa\/PAP <\/p>\n
The full DNA sequence of the coronavirus virus has been taken from an infected patient after being isolated by scientists at Gdask University.<\/p>\n
By unravelling the genetic sequence, the researchers can learn a variety of crucial information about the disease, such as how the virus deceives the human body, weakening its immune system.<\/p>\n

Other clues include COVID-19s evolutionary and geographic origins, how it found itself in Poland and how it has changed since the outbreak in China.<\/p>\n
Team leader Dr. ukasz Rbalski at the Gdask University and Medical Academys joint Intercollegiate Faculty of Biotechnology said: Genetic material must meet many qualitative and quantitative standards in order to be decoded.<\/p>\n
The data obtained will allow scientists from around the world to consider Poland in their research related to the epidemiology of COVID-19 disease.Public domain<\/p>\n
In the case of viruses whose genetic material is single-stranded RNA, methods are used to multiply the amount of genetic material.<\/p>\n
Normally, this has been done by replicating viral particles in laboratories. Nowadays, thanks to achievements in the field of molecular biology, a shorter pathway can be used without the need for virus culture.<\/p>\n

The equipment used to decode coronavirus was previously used during the Ebola epidemic.<\/p>\n
Dr. Rbalski used the latest generation of sequencers from Oxford Nanopore Technologies, which have bioinformatic protocols that limit the risk of results distortion.<\/p>\n
Dr. Rbalskis research is published in the global GISAID database.Uniwersytet Gdaski<\/p>\n
The GISAID database is the biggest resource of DNA sequences worldwide scientists have already uploaded over 5,000 of them and now the collection includes one from a Polish patient.<\/p>\n
The University Clinical Centre in Gdasks Hematology Laboratory is currently carrying out further sequencing of viruses from Polish patients.<\/p>\n

The next package of data will be sent to GISAID within the next few days.<\/p>\n
The research has been published in the international GISAID database so that it can be widely used for research on vaccines and medicine for the coronavirus.<\/p>\n
