Objective of the Hackathon was to identify drug candidates that are effective against coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 by employing a hackathon for in-silico drug discovery, followed up by chemical synthesis and biological testing.

COVID-19 genome sequencing analyses generated by CSIR-CCMB
Centre for Cellular & Molecular Biology (CSIR-CCMB) strove to stay a transparent and credible source of information in the unprecedented COVID-19 crisis. As the science around the virus evolved every day, the CCMB leadership communicated it to the journalists. Genome Evolution Analysis Resource for COVID-19 (GEAR-19) is a resource to track the genomic evolution of SARS-CoV-2, the virus which is responsible for the worldwide pandemic of COVID-19. Sequencing of viral genomes could provide insights of the spread, changes in the sequence over time and demographic associations. This information was useful in viral surveillance and could be used to monitor the spread across states in India. As sequenced viral genomes are rapidly deposited on public repositories like GISAID, it is the need of the hour for even quicker analysis and interpretations.
