On 3rd March scientists at our @CVRinfo were able to sequence #SARS_COV_2 from Scotland’s first #Covid19 case. In <24hrs researchers were able to share the data worldwide - a crucial process in informing vital research #WorldChangingGlasgow

Shortly after, @CVRinfo were named as one of 13 key centres in the £20m #COVID19 Genomics UK Consortium, continuing their work on whole genome sequencing from confirmed Scottish patients as a crucial part of the UK-wide scientific alliance 👉gla.ac.uk/news/headline_…
