Using Genetic Sequencing to Track SARS-CoV-2 Mutations May Improve the Accuracy… – AlKhaleej Today

Scientists are tracking the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19 by sequencing the genome of virus samples taken from diagnostic tests. Using next-generation sequencing on SARS-CoV-2 will help accurately diagnose the novel coronavirus, identify mutations, and track its history. A study by scientists at the UNC School of Medicine (Chapel Hill, NC, USA) has shown how next-generation genetic sequencing can track mutations in the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which actually helps track transmission, the accuracy…
