A group formed to investigate the mutation dynamics and evolution of the SARS-CoV-2 genome published their latest findings on the different selection dynamics of the S and RdRp genes in the Infection, Genetics and Evolution journal. doi.org/10.1016/j.meegid.2021.104796 The study includes a collaborative effort of Assist. Prof. Yavuz Oktay -group leader of Neuro-Genomics Lab at IBG-,
The manuscript with the title of; ‘Mutation density changes in SARS-CoV-2 are related to the pandemic stage but to a lesser extent in the dominant strain with mutations in spike and RdRp’, is just published in Biorxiv. (https://t.co/TY7Wve7Pdz) The study was conducted by Doğa Eskier -a PhD student at IBG-, and IBG group leaders Dr.s
Dr.s Yavuz Oktay and Gökhan Karakülah, research group leaders at IBG, and an IBG student Doğa Eskier have just published their in-silico analysis on the effects of SARS-Cov2 mutations on the viral properties and disease characteristics at Biorxiv (https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.05.20.104885). The researchers collaborated with Dr. Aslı Suner from Ege University. Viral genome sequences have been accumulating
To grant access to curated, comprehensive, and up-to-date information regarding SARS-CoV-2 isolates sequenced in Turkey and their mutatome to national and international researchers, in order to facilitate their efforts in fighting the continuing COVID-19 outbreak, IBG is proud to present an interactive map of the provinces of Turkey, which shows the number of isolates sequenced
Dr. Pavlopoulou, together with her collaborators from Italy and Greece, has just published their study on codon usage and evolutionary divergences of SARS-Cov2 genes in the internationally respected scientific journal, Viruses. The Covid-19 outbreak continues to dramatically impact people’s lives all around the world. New scientific understanding on the SARS-Cov2 virus genome is critical to
Although following from behind, Coronavirus keeps on spreading rapidly in our country. In the fight against the Covid-19 outbreak, the timely and accurate detection of the SARS-Cov2 virus in humans has critical importance. In order to be able to detect the virus more quickly, a Covid-19 Diagnosis Center was founded in Izmir with the initiation
With the lead of Dr. Arif Engin Çetin, we are producing face shields in our lab using 3D Printing techniques in just 29 minutes. We have made 48 face shields for Dokuz Eylul University (DEU) hospital and 55 for the other organisations so far. During the Covid-19 outbreak, thousands of healthcare providers and laboratory researchers
We recently witnessed how quickly a new infection can change people’s lives. It also reminded us of the importance of keeping scientifically informed, acting promptly, and more importantly, using a scientific approach to combat threats. As IBG, we are committed to creating a safe and healthy working environment for our staff. For this reason, they
