The new strain spread from Britain to the world further increased the viral load in the patient. The mutants found in Cantt, UK in December last year, were revealed in the study of British university scholars. The protein spike of covid-19 can be more lethal when there is a mutation. This has started increasing the virus load. It hijacks the cells.

Additional mutations in the nucleocapsid gene can affect the infection, said researchers from the University of Sheffield. Scientist Prof. Matthew Parkar said the genome sequencing of the sample after the corona became challenging.

Our analysis also revealed a new subgenomic RNA message in B.1.1.7. This variant contains instructions for a protein (ORF9b) that can regulate the response of our immune system to the virus.
