Current Scenario Of Covid-19 With Epidemiological And Phylogenetic Analysis Of Pakistani Coronavirus: A Review, Asma Altaf, Wafa Iqbal, Sidra Younis, Farah Deeba

Journal of Bioresource Management

A novel corona virus named as 2019 n-CoV was identified to be the actual cause of an outbreak of respiratory illness in Wuhan, China beginning in late December 2019. This respiratory disease was named as COVID-19 by WHO. There are many countries affected by COVID-19 including Pakistan. In this review we have provided a brief introduction of COVID-19 and discussed epidemiological and phylogenetic analysis of Pakistani novel corona virus strain. Our epidemiological analysis of data till 16th May 2020 showed rapidly increasing number of new cases, while at the same time a higher recovery rate than number of deaths …

Molecular Taxonomy And Phylogenetic Analysis Of Dove And Pigeon Species (Aves: Columbidae) Of Pakistan, Based On Coi Region Of Mitochondrial Dna, Hina Rafiq, Fakhar -I-Abbas, Fakhra Nazir, Fida Muhammad Khan

Journal of Bioresource Management

Doves and Pigeons are the members of living family Columbidae (Order: Columbiformes) having a wide range of taxonomic diversity and geographic distribution. Seven species with one sample each of family Columbidae were collected via random sampling from different districts of Pakistan to carry out this study. The targeted gene region was sequenced and identified by using BLAST tool at National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). CLUSTALW was used for sequence alignment and MEGA6 for reconstruction of phylogenetic trees to predict the effective ancestry of different Columbidae species. The following phylogenetic trees were obtained i.e. Maximum Likelihood tree, Neighborhood joining tree, …
