Whole genomes of coronavirus from UK patients sequenced by Sheffield scientists - Latest - News - The University of Sheffield
Scientists at the University of Sheffield in partnership with Sheffield Teaching Hospitals Virology team have successfully sequenced their first two whole genomes of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) from UK patients.
The work forms part of a worldwide emergency response to the outbreak, helping coordinate agile responses to new infectious diseases as they spread and mutate in local populations
The genome sequences will provide crucial information to track the spread and evolution of the virus in the UK and globally

The virus genome (the sequence of nucleotides that make up its DNA) is crucial information for understand its toxicity & how to combat it.
