Accelerating genomics-based surveillance for COVID-19 response in Africa

18 Aug 2020

Abstract excerpt

Timely sequencing of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) coupled with rapid data sharing has allowed researchers to develop counter-measures against the virus such as diagnostic tests and vaccines,1 and assess transmission and evolution dynamics as the virus spreads globally. Despite the minimal resources available in the African continent, local experts have risen to the challenge and...
