The COVID pandemic continues to have a significant impact on the scientific community; while it slowed scientific progress in some research areas, it sparked technology development in others. As SARS-CoV-2 spread globally, the virus acquired mutations that drove demand for rapid diagnostic tests and improved mutation surveillance. In this webinar brought to you by Thermo Fisher Scientific, Eugene Koonin and Eric Niederkofler will describe how technological advances help researchers monitor viral evolution and interpret the implications of variation on viral infectivity and transmission rates.
