Sars-CoV-2 is a new global health challenge that was declared a pandemic in March 2020. In just 6 months, the virus had infected more than 7.5 million population worldwide, and in 10 months infected over 40 million. Clinical manifestation of Sars-CoV-2 range from mild symptoms like sneezing, coughing, cold and fever to severe respiratory complications such as pneumonia and acute distress respiratory syndrome, sepsis, and multiple organ failure. The virus is highly contagious and transmits through respiratory droplets. Currently, there is no treatment option available to treat Sars-CoV-2. Several research groups are working to explore different aspects of virus but further research is needed to fill the knowledge gaps. Herein, this review article provides latest update on genomic characterization, transmission, diagnosis, treatment, and clinical manifestation of Sars-CoV-2.

Prediction is a very important part of the business of scientific theories, and scientists like to make wagers. Back in 2009, two prominent biologists within the public arena entered into a gentleman's bet about the explanatory value of the genome. Lewis Wolpert believes that, by 2029, it will be possible to predict all the physical details of a complex organism by the knowledge of its genome. Rupert Sheldrake, conversely, insists that new scientific principles are needed to explain development. It is also over a decade since Sean Carroll formalized the cis-regulatory hypothesis of morphological evolution. This paradigm, whereby major changes in form are produced by small variations in regulatory DNA, is congruent with Wolpert's own understanding of the genome. Research conducted over the past decade, however, suggests that a gene-centred approach to developmental evolution may be fading, but there is still much to work on. Far from being eccentric, the wager's outcome could affect the future course of the field of developmental biology.
