Viruses change themselves with weighther: According to a new research by the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras, the viruses bring changes in a certain pattern according to the changes in the weather, time and its surroundings. The researcher researched 465 samples taken from the lakes of America for more than 20 years and reconduct 1.3 million virus genomes using machine learning, and concluded based on the information received from them.
How was the study done?
Scientists at the University of IIT Madras, University of Wisconsin-Medicon and Texas jointly conducted an international research, in which the virus was focused on the virus in freshwater lakes. In this research, scientists did research of 465 samples collected from Wisconsin’s lakes in a period of more than 20 years.
It is the longest DNA-based research on the virus in the natural environment on Earth. He analyzed all the DNAs present in the lakes samples with the technique called metagenomics and reconstructed 1.3 million virus genomes with the help of machine learning.
‘Virus changes with weather’
This research helped the researcher to know how the virus changes themselves with the weather, in long gaps and changes in the environment. The researcher in the research letter published in the journal Microbiology Journal said, “Virus changes with the weather. Many of these come back to the year.
He said, “The viruses can ‘steal’ the genes from their hosts and use them for their own benefits. The viruses go through the process of gradual development and over time some genes emerge more effective in the process of natural selection.”
Researcher detects 578 such viral genes
Research revealed that the virus not only spreads the disease, but is also beneficial for nature. They are also helpful for other organisms. The researcher detects 578 such viral genes that help in important tasks such as photosynthesis (processing of food by plants) and methane. These viruses contribute to keeping natural systems healthy and stable.
Visiting Professor Dr. Karthik Anantraman in IIT Madras said, “Kovid-19 epidemic showed us how important it is to track the virus. It is important to understand how viruses are born, how to change and how to connect with their environment. It is not only necessary to deal with the epidemic, but how many important are the viruses in the nature of the viruses to know not only to deal with the epidemics. Research of time has been very less. “
In addition, by researching the virus in freshwater lakes, we can better manage water resources, natural environment and health of people. This research suggests new methods, such as restoration of environment by using virus to fix polluted lakes.
