Whole Genome Sequencing and Phylogenetic Classification Accelerate the Implementation of Respiratory Syncytial Virus Genomic surveillance in Canada as a Pilot Study
We present assays to efficiently sequence genomes of the RSVA and RSVB. This enables researchers and public health agencies to acquire high-quality genomic data using rapid and cost-effective approaches. Genomic data based comparative analysis can be used to conduct surveillance and monitor circulating isolates for efficacy of vaccines and antiviral therapeutics.
