Coronavirus

An integrated national scale SARS-CoV-2 genomic surveillance network
COVID-19 Genomics UK, The Lancet Microbe, June 2, 2020
Results from this initiative are guiding decision makers, including the weekly reports to the UK Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE). This is the first time that large-scale genomic epidemiology has been used to guide and inform the public health response to a pandemic in the UK, setting the stage for genomics to be a core tool for future pandemics.
Opinion: Intercepting pandemics through genomics
WJ Kress et al, PNAS, June 3, 2020
