Amid the whirlwind of changes to campus life during the early days of COVID-19, the Yale Center for Genome Analysis was among a handful of Yale facilities with the specialized technology necessary to investigate the biological and chemical functions and mechanisms at play within the virus. In an interview, Shrikant Mane director of the center and of the Keck Biotechnology Resource Laboratory, and professor of genetics discussed the center’s COVID-19 research.
