Compared to the ancestral SARS-CoV-2 sequence reported from China, the isolates in Bangladesh had a total of 180 mutations in the coding region of the genome, and 110 of these were missense. We conducted comparative analysis of publicly available genome sequences of SARS-CoV-2 from 27 countries to predict the origin of viruses in Bangladesh by studying a time-4 resolved phylogenetic relationship. Later, we analyzed the variants present in different isolates of Bangladesh to understand the pattern of mutations in relation to the ancestral Wuhan strain, find unique mutations, and possible effect of these mutations on the stability of encoded proteins, and selection pressure on genes. ./cache/cord-254636-3lr008th.txt ./txt/cord-254636-3lr008th.txt
