# COVID-19

### **Context**

The rapid emergence of COVID19 across the world has led to massive mortality and morbidity. The *genome sequencing* of the Sudden Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) can provide clues regarding how the virus has evolved and *variants* within the genome. These in turn can help for diagnosis and drug discovery.&#x20;

Once the genome sequencing is done, the subsequent data analysis requires substantial computational resources. The idea is to provide such a computational platform for the researchers to *quickly* upload their sequencing *data* and get the results. <br>
