Published Data
Genomics and transcriptomics refers to the study of DNA and RNA, typically using High-throughput sequencing. A number of different genomic and transcriptomic methods can be used to research the COVID-19 pandemic.
For example, relevant methodologies could include:
- Virus detection in patient samples, using RT-PCR
- Sequencing of the viral genome in patient samples
- Host genome analysis, to identify genetic risk factors for a severe disease
- Direct RNA sequencing of the viral genome, to detect RNA modifications
- Transcriptomic analysis of RNA in the host, to determine host response during infection
- and many more…
