Current PulseNet Workflows

Whole Genome Sequencing Process - WGS is a laboratory procedure that determines the order of bases in the genome of an organism in one process. WGS provides a very precise DNS fingerprint that can help link cases to one another allowing an outbreak to be detected and solved sooner.

Highly multiplexed amplicon sequencing - HMAS is a laboratory procedure that allows scientists to shorten the time it takes to identify the DNA of harmful bacteria causing people to get sick but isolating it directly from a patients stool.
