Genome sequencing allows us to piece together the puzzle of local transmission of #COVID19.

But what is it and how does it work? https://t.co/Cf2spD5tJX

[Nature Medicine @NatureMedicine]

The combination of nearly real-time genome sequencing of #SARSCoV2 in infected patients during the first 10 weeks of #COVID19 containment in Australia and epidemiological modeling provides insights into the dynamics of transmission. @WestmeadInst https://t.co/yeqjq9OBZw

[Rebecca Rockett @rockett_rebecca]

Why genomic sequencing is crucial to identifying COVID-19 community transmission in Australia. Our research published tonight in @NatureMedicine

Tonight, we are #GoingGreenforParkies 💚 Green spaces are vital now more than ever for our wellbeing, and our horticulturists and garden staff work tirelessly to maintain them. The Calyx and lights throughout the Garden will glow green this evening to honour these workers.

Dr Rockett’s team are able to pinpoint where in the world a particular infection is from or if it’s part of a cluster. This remarkable insight into how the virus spreads offers a powerful weapon to help defeat it. #60Mins
