A total of 21 cases of the new strain have been found in Maharashtra, six in Madhya Pradesh, three each in Kerala and Tamil Nadu, two in Karnataka and one each in Punjab, Andhra Pradesh and Jammu, said sources.
The other research laboratories identified include CSRI-IGIB, New Delhi, DBT-Institute of Life Sciences, Bhubaneswar, InStem-NCBS, Bengaluru, NIBMG, West Bengal and NIV, Pune
The genome sequencing study would determine if the Covid-19 positive patients are carrying the existing strain of SARS-CoV-2 or the mutant strain which was discovered in the UK's population.
