SARS-CoV-2 variants: how do we get from sample to variant and why should we care? SARS-CoV-2 variants have been in the news a lot over the past two years. In this talk, Pavitra Roychoudhury will explore viral genome sequencing to learn how we get from nasal swab to sequence to variant. She’ll discuss the different variants of concern, what makes them concerning, and how they monitor for current and future variants of concern in the UW Virology Lab. This free online lecture is hosted by the UW’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute.
