Genetic sequencing plays an important role in keeping an eye on new viral infections. However, there are still some challenges we need to overcome:
Resource Intensive: It can be very expensive, and the equipment needed is specialized, making it hard for many places to access it.
Data Overload: There is so much data from sequencing that it can be tough to analyze and understand.
Rapid Mutation: Viruses can change very quickly, which makes it hard to keep track of them.
To get better at dealing with these issues, we need to invest in better facilities, create standard procedures, and work together. This will help us respond quickly and stay on top of surveillance efforts.
