PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — As new variants of coronavirus continue to pop up across the world, scientists are turning to genetic surveillance to stay ahead of the virus.
Genetic surveillance comes into play when scientists want to do a deep dive into a virus. Dr. Zachary Klase, at the Drexel University College of Medicine, discussed how it's done on the KYW Newsradio In Depth podcast.
"For you and me, that's a DNA sequence. For this virus, it's an RNA sequence," he explained, "and rather than just say, 'Yes, it's there,' you read every single one of those 30,000 pieces of code so you have a picture of exactly what this virus is."
