Certificate of Achievement
has completed the following course:
A Practical Guide for SARS-CoV-2 Whole Genome Sequencing
Wellcome Connecting Science and COG-Train
Accurate sequencing information is required to inform evidence-based public health decisions to tackle infectious diseases and pandemics such as COVID-19. This course highlights all of the relevant steps needed for processing, sequencing and analysing viral samples to inform public health response. You will hear from experts on how to choose appropriate tools and processes to sequence viral samples, considerations for scaling-up, data analyses and reporting.
