--- res: bibo_abstract: - During the COVID-19 pandemic, genomics and bioinformatics have emerged as essential public health tools. The genomic data acquired using these methods have supported the global health response, facilitated the development of testing methods and allowed the timely tracking of novel SARS-CoV-2 variants. Yet the virtually unlimited potential for rapid generation and analysis of genomic data is also coupled with unique technical, scientific and organizational challenges. Here, we discuss the application of genomic and computational methods for efficient data-driven COVID-19 response, the advantages of the democratization of viral sequencing around the world and the challenges associated with viral genome data collection and processing.@eng bibo_authorlist: - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Sergey foaf_name: Knyazev, Sergey foaf_surname: Knyazev - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Karishma foaf_name: Chhugani, Karishma foaf_surname: Chhugani - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Varuni foaf_name: Sarwal, Varuni foaf_surname: Sarwal - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Ram foaf_name: Ayyala, Ram foaf_surname: Ayyala - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Harman foaf_name: Singh, Harman foaf_surname: Singh - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Smruthi foaf_name: Karthikeyan, Smruthi foaf_surname: Karthikeyan - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Dhrithi foaf_name: Deshpande, Dhrithi foaf_surname: Deshpande - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Pelin Icer foaf_name: Baykal, Pelin Icer foaf_surname: Baykal - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Zoia foaf_name: Comarova, Zoia foaf_surname: Comarova - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Angela foaf_name: Lu, Angela foaf_surname: Lu - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Yuri foaf_name: Porozov, Yuri foaf_surname: Porozov - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Tetyana I. foaf_name: Vasylyeva, Tetyana I. foaf_surname: Vasylyeva - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Joel O. foaf_name: Wertheim, Joel O. foaf_surname: Wertheim - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Braden T. foaf_name: Tierney, Braden T. foaf_surname: Tierney - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Charles Y. foaf_name: Chiu, Charles Y. foaf_surname: Chiu - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Ren foaf_name: Sun, Ren foaf_surname: Sun - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Aiping foaf_name: Wu, Aiping foaf_surname: Wu - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Malak S. foaf_name: Abedalthagafi, Malak S. foaf_surname: Abedalthagafi - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Victoria M. foaf_name: Pak, Victoria M. foaf_surname: Pak - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Shivashankar H. foaf_name: Nagaraj, Shivashankar H. foaf_surname: Nagaraj - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Adam L. foaf_name: Smith, Adam L. foaf_surname: Smith - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Pavel foaf_name: Skums, Pavel foaf_surname: Skums - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Bogdan foaf_name: Pasaniuc, Bogdan foaf_surname: Pasaniuc - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Andrey foaf_name: Komissarov, Andrey foaf_surname: Komissarov - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Christopher E. foaf_name: Mason, Christopher E. foaf_surname: Mason - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Eric foaf_name: Bortz, Eric foaf_surname: Bortz - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Philippe foaf_name: Lemey, Philippe foaf_surname: Lemey - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Fyodor foaf_name: Kondrashov, Fyodor foaf_surname: Kondrashov foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=44FDEF62-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 orcid: 0000-0001-8243-4694 - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Niko foaf_name: Beerenwinkel, Niko foaf_surname: Beerenwinkel - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Tommy Tsan Yuk foaf_name: Lam, Tommy Tsan Yuk foaf_surname: Lam - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Nicholas C. foaf_name: Wu, Nicholas C. foaf_surname: Wu - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Alex foaf_name: Zelikovsky, Alex foaf_surname: Zelikovsky - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Rob foaf_name: Knight, Rob foaf_surname: Knight - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Keith A. foaf_name: Crandall, Keith A. foaf_surname: Crandall - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Serghei foaf_name: Mangul, Serghei foaf_surname: Mangul bibo_doi: 10.1038/s41592-022-01444-z bibo_issue: '4' bibo_volume: 19 dct_date: 2022^xs_gYear dct_identifier: - UT:000781199600011 dct_isPartOf: - http://id.crossref.org/issn/1548-7091 - http://id.crossref.org/issn/1548-7105 dct_language: eng dct_publisher: Springer Nature@ dct_title: Unlocking capacities of genomics for the COVID-19 response and future pandemics@ fabio_hasPubmedId: '35396471' ...
