Description:Updated Apr. 9, 2021
The Advanced Molecular Detection (program established the SARS-CoV-2 Sequencing for Public Health Emergency Response, Epidemiology and Surveillance (SPHERES)to coordinate SARS-CoV-2 sequencing. The SPHERES collaboration includes scientists from clinical and public health laboratories, academic institutions, and the private sector. SPHERES will strengthen COVID-19 mitigation strategies. Large-scale, rapid genomic sequencing will allow public health experts to—
• Monitor important changes in the virus as it continues to circulate
• Gain important insights to support contact tracing efforts
• Provide crucial information to aid in identifying diagnostic and therapeutic targets
• Advance public health research in the areas about transmission dynamics, host response, and evolution of the virus
