BlueDot Narrated

Audio versions of blogs and papers from BlueDot courses. Description: This post models how an effective biosurveillance system might work in the US using metagenomic sequencing (MGS). Metagenomic sequencing can read out any nucleic acid (RNA or DNA) in a sample. Analyzing these fragments allows the identification of both known pathogens as well as unknown reads that could represent a new threat. Original Text: https://naobservatory.org/blog/biothreat_radar/Author(s): Simon Grimm, Lennart Justen, and Jeff Kaufman. A podcast by BlueDot Impact.
