In the second semester of college, we had a class where we used R for data analysis. This course was more focused on biology, so the final project involved using the NCBI database to obtain RNA sequences from different variants of COVID-19 around the world. Our goal was to explore the relationships and differences between these sequences.

We generated several graphical representations to explain these RNA chains. Interestingly, we discovered that most of the COVID-19 variants had nearly identical RNA sequences, with only minor variations in nucleotides. We also observed patterns where the variants from one country closely resembled those from another country, providing insights into the possible global spread of the virus. Working with this type of data was fascinating, especially considering the context of the times we were living in.
