Comparative and phylogenetic analysis of viruses in the University Hospital Brno
Švestková, Tereza ; Sedlář, Karel (referee) ; Nykrýnová, Markéta (advisor)
This thesis is focused on the SARs-CoV-2 coronavirus associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome, which was first identified in 2019. This coronavirus caused a pandemic that affected almost the entire world. Knowledge of the genetic information is needed for vaccine development, to determine infectivity and to predict the evolution of SARs-CoV-2 variants. To obtain genetic information, RNA must be sequenced and these genomic sequences must be assembled. By comparing the assembled genomes, it is possible to find out which part of the organism has mutated. Phylogenetic analysis is performed on the basis of the concordance or divergence in the assembled genomes, which indicates the evolution of the organism and shows the evolutionary relationship with other organisms. The practical part is focused on the assembly of genomes from samples from patients in the University Hospital Brno and evaluation of the quality of the assembly. After the genomes are assembled, the next goal is to evaluate the variability and subsequent phylogenetic analysis.
