- Abstract
SARS-CoV-2 has infected millions of people in Indonesia and taken thousands of lives by bonding Spike (S) protein and Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2) human cell receptor. Spike gene has a higher mutation rate compared to other genes, which suggested to increase its virulence, transmission and change the virus regulation inside the cell; hence genetic mutation surveillance is needed. This study aimed to determine the dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 spike gene mutation to predict the development of Covid-19 in the future. This study was conducted based on Big-data. Spike gene sequence samples were retrieved from GISAID EpiCoVTM website database and NCBI from March 2020 to March 2021. Multiple alignment of the sequences was achieved using the ClustalW algorithm from BioEdit 7.2.5 version. Mutation and variant analysis, and phylogenetic tree reconstruction, were performed using MEGA X. A total of 146 mutation sites were discovered within Indonesian samples and 100 from 19 comparison countries (Overseas). As many as 135 variants were exclusively found from Indonesian samples and 77 variants from overseas, and 5 from both. One distinct Indonesian variant is thought to have originated from abroad and underwent further mutations in Indonesia. Based on our results, it can be concluded that the SARS-CoV-2 virus is suspected of continuing to mutate if it is still spreading in the community.
