Clinical and biological insights from viral genome sequencing

Nature Reviews Microbiology 15, 183 (2017). doi:10.1038/nrmicro.2016.182 Authors: Charlotte J. Houldcroft, Mathew A. Beale & Judith Breuer Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of pathogens is becoming increasingly important not only for basic research but also for clinical science and practice. In virology, WGS is important for the development of novel treatments and vaccines, and for increasing the power of molecular epidemiology and evolutionary genomics.
