A study published in Cell Reports shows how next generation genetic sequencing can track mutations in the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which can in effect help with transmission tracing, diagnostic testing accuracy and vaccine effectiveness.
“Once you have the virus’ genetic sequence with next generation sequencing (NGS), then you can start asking more questions,” said Dirk Dittmer, Ph.D., professor of microbiology and immunology at the UNC School of Medicine, and senior author of the study. “Where have we…
