Current Biology According to research published in the journal 20 thousand years It was stated that there was an epidemic of Covid-19 in East Asia that was so effective that it left an evolutionary trace in the DNA of people living today.
In the research, it was noted that the findings showed that the ancient coronavirus had been effective in the region for years, indicating that the current Kovid-19 epidemic could have dire consequences if not controlled by vaccination.
David Enard, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Arizona, who led the study, said:This should worry us. The current epidemic may continue for generations and generations.‘ he evaluated.
It was announced that Enard and other scientists involved in the research were investigating the effects of existing coronaviruses on the DNA of people carrying the virus, rather than looking at their genes, and it was found that viruses cause enormous changes in the human genome over generations.
In the research, it was pointed out that viruses and humans pass on the mutations they develop against each other to the next generations, emphasizing that scientists examine the human genome within these genetic variation patterns to reconstruct the history of viruses.
In East Asian populations, these genes 42It was stated that the scientists who determined that the .
In the research, antivirus mutations of all these genes, 20 ila 25 bin While it was estimated that it probably developed over several centuries years ago, it was reported that the surprising question was how the East Asians, who were hunter-gatherers at that time, did not live in dense communities, but how the virus spread so much.
