By utilising this technology, local scientists will be able to sequence the genomes of emerging disease-causing viruses in a rapid and accurate manner without the need to use reference genomes.
The technological process of sequencing the SARS-CoV-2 virus genome by using the modern sequencing machine PacBio is the result of a scientific project assigned by the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology (VAST) to the Institute of Biotechnology for implementation. This is being done for the purpose of supporting the country’s handling of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
