Viral sequence evolution

This research area aims at developing capabilities for viral genome sequencing of all positive patients to follow mutations and enable tracing of infection spread. The large-scale genome sequencing capability will also contribute to establishing a database of genome variation in collaboration with similar sequencing efforts such as the UK COVID-19 Sequencing Consortium.

This area consists of 4 individual projects, funded a total of 1,7 MSEK. Led by researchers at Uppsala University, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm University. 

Coordinator: Alice Sollazzo, Uppsala University

Scientific lead: Ulf Gyllensten, Uppsala University
