<span style="color: #222222;">The Government has come across reports in a section of social media, which purportedly claims that Indian citizens are safe because of Micro RNA in their genome. The report misinterprets the work carried out at the International Center for Genetic Engineering &amp; Biotechnology in this regard.<br />”<br />”THIS IS A FAKE NEWS<br />”<br />”No such claim has been made by the International Center for Genetic Engineering &amp; Biotechnology (ICGEB) that a micro RNA is unique to Indians as mentioned in the video. No analysis of DNA or RNA of patient samples as mentioned in the purported video/audio has been carried by the Delhi based group at the ICGEB, in this regard.<br />”<br />”Group Leader of the Translational Division, Dr. Dinesh Gupta told All India Radio News that the Center used Computational Biology in this study. The research by the group of scientists can’t be used to conclude anything concrete about the lethality and transmission of the corona virus, or resistance of the population in India as claimed in the video.<br />”<br />”The video/audio is perpetuating a totally misleading interpretation. It is not only unethical but also dangerous in this crisis, as it gives a false sense of security to the Indian citizens.<br />”<br />”Be aware of &nbsp;any such misleading information and do not fall for it.<br />”Stay Home, Stay Safe.</span><br />
