In this study, we sequenced and analyzed the genomic information of the SARS-CoV-2 isolates from two infected Indian patients and explored the possible implications of point mutations in its biology. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the cause of the novel human Corona Virus Disease COVID-19, first reported on November 17 th , 2019 in Wuhan, China [12] . In addition to structural and NSPs, SARS-CoV-2 genome also codes for at least two other viroporin candidates (other than the E protein), namely ORF3a and ORF8 [3] . Moreover, the 29-nucleotide deleted SARS CoV-1 strain had a 23-fold less viral replication as compared to its wild type, suggesting that this mutation effectively attenuated the virus. ./cache/cord-307701-fujejfwb.txt ./txt/cord-307701-fujejfwb.txt
