Scientists can detect new COVID-19 variants by analyzing wastewater
Washington DC (UPI) Jan 19, 2021
New research suggests viral genome sequencing of wastewater can be used to identify new COVID-19 variants before they're picked up via other screening methods. In Britain, scientists have been regularly sequencing the DNA of hundreds of COVID-19 samples on a weekly basis. Since Britain's Covid-19 Genomics Consortium was formed in the early weeks of the pandemic, the project has t
