Virus detection method paves way for quicker pandemic response – study
A quick method for detecting virus variants paves the way for a speedier response to pandemics, scientists have said.
Research backed by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) found that genotyping – a method for picking up tiny genetic differences – can detect variants six days faster than traditional whole genome sequencing.
This means that changes in viruses, as well as new Covid variants, can
