How Britain became the world leader in sequencing the coronavirus genome
The UK has sequenced more than 250,000 genomes and helped discover thousands of mutations
The battle against Covid-19 is truly global.
But in one area the UK is the undisputed world leader - tracing the genetic profile of the virus as it mutates around the world.
There are now four variants of concern of the virus that causes Covid-19 identified by government advisers. Three have been found in Britain, and the fourth is the Brazil variant identified in people who had travelled to Japan.
Yet if it wasn t for the Covid-19 Genomics UK (COG-UK) consortium, such mutations would have likely remained undiscovered, spreading silently in the population.
