After a year-long cheddar-making experiment, scientists have unraveled the microbial underpinnings of the cheese's buttery flavor

Here is an early warning system for the next surge of coronavirus variants When it comes to public health, it’s time to integrate genome sequencing with infectious disease tracking. We won’t have to wait for a surge. Text Size: A+ Genomic surveillance programs have let scientists track the coronavirus over the course of the pandemic. By testing patient samples, researchers are able to diagnose COVID-19. But they’re also able to use genetic changes in the virus to recreate its travel routes and identify the emergence of new viral variants. By connecting genetic change with the appea...

Genomic surveillance programs have let scientists track the coronavirus over the course of the pandemic. By testing patient samples, researchers are able to diagnose COVID-19. But they’re also able to use genetic changes in the virus to recreate its travel routes and identify the emergence of new viral variants. By connecting genetic change with the appearance of new clusters of disease, our research suggests how genome surveillance can provide a new early warning of what’s to come. Daily reports on how the virus is evolving could sound the alarm before case numbers explode. Mutations hap...

COVID-19 surges are driven by appearance of new SARS-CoV-2 variants, genome sequencing shows Genome sequencing of thousands of SARS-CoV-2 samples shows that surges of COVID-19 cases are driven by the appearance of new coronavirus variants, according to new research from the School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of California, Davis published April 1 in Scientific Reports. As variants emerge, you're going to get new outbreaks." Bart Weimer, Professor of Population Health and Reproduction, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of California - Davis The merger of classical epidemi...

Increase in genetic variation followed by surge in cases Combining classical epidemiology and genomics can predict course of pandemics Genome sequencing of thousands of SARS-CoV-2 samples shows that surges of COVID-19 cases are driven by the appearance of new coronavirus variants, according to new research from the School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of California, Davis, published April 1 in Scientific Reports. “As variants emerge, you’re going to get new outbreaks,” said Bart Weimer, professor of population health and reproduction at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medi...
