Certificate of Achievement
has completed the following course:
Making sense of genomic data: COVID-19 web-based bioinformatics
Wellcome Connecting Science and COG-Train
During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was an unprecedented generation of sequencing data. Although laboratories have improved their testing and sequencing capacity, in low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs) bioinformatics analyses still represent a bottleneck in the implementation of effective viral surveillance programmes.
