2021 Project: Nevada State Public Health Laboratory

Real-time tracking of COVID-19 cases through rapid sequencing and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis

What to know

The Nevada State Public Health Laboratory developed a monitoring system of SARS-CoV-2 genomics in Nevada that made daily sequencing of SARS-CoV-2–positive specimen results available within 24 hours. Awarded in 2021, the project produced a software pipeline to convert files into actionable genomic data.
