Putting Whole Genome Data to Work in Public Health
Public health is undergoing the same shift many industries know well - from narrow, low resolution data sources to high throughput data that provides higher resolution but also additional challenges. In this instance, we are talking about the shift from analog diagnostic assays and typing methods that require subjective interpretation to whole genome data. Drawing from real outbreak investigations - Calgary's 2023 daycare E.coli outbreak to the cross-country Robin Hood flour contamination and global covid surveillance.
Learn what it takes to put whole genome sequencing to work in an outbreak: the right date, the right resolution, integration, connectivity, and action.
