Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has been a fundamental tool used throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, helping scientists to study the SARS-CoV-2 viral genome and identify mutations. The need for improvements in speed, simplicity and cost effectiveness are driving developments in sequencing methods such as the Midnight Panel – an enrichment method that can reduce sequencing time by more than half.
Technology Networks recently spoke with Dr. Nick Downey, NGS collaborations lead at IDT, to learn more about the ways that NGS is being used as part of the response to the pandemic and gain insights into how and why this varies globally. In this interview, Nick also tells us more about the Midnight Panel and shares his views on how the pandemic has influenced the future use of sequencing programs in public health.
