A genomics network established to respond rapidly to public health threats in South Africa

18 Aug 2020

Abstract excerpt

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we created the Network for Genomic Surveillance in South Africa (NGS-SA) in May, 2020 with grants from the South African Medical Research Council and the South African Department of Science and Innovation. Our goal is to sequence the genome of at least 10 000 severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) samples to inform the public health response in South...
