A new study published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine conducted systematic surveillance involving 2,397 HCWs who were fully vaccinated with the Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162 vaccine at the ASST Settelaghi hospitals, Italy, in February 2021.
from the university of sydney. why is it important to carry out gene sequencing such as i have described? what does it actually tell you? one of the key things we have come to realise with any type of genetic diversity is the more diversity as bt has, the greater potential they have to adapt to future changes. so a lot of people understand and know about the biodiversity crisis that the planet now finds itself in, and there are three main pillars to biodiversity. one is having lots of differences on lots of diversity, diversity in ecosystems, lots of different type of species, and the third pillar is really the diversity of genes, and there has been a really hard one for us to get an understanding of because the technology did not exist, but when the human zeno was published over 20 years ago, that really opened up a whole new field of science that we are now applying to a suite of
concerns about the impact on public health. simon jones, bbc news. there is some concern over how the monitoring for coronavirus variants will continue without the need for pcr tests. dr simon clarke is an associate professor in cellular microbiology at the university of reading. thank you forjoining us on bbc news. in terms of the monitoring of the variance and the use of the pcr tests, there were a few questions yesterday over the percentage of those pcr tests, 5% were used. we have heard much higherfigures. what do you know about which ones are used for gene sequencing? my
used for gene sequencing? ij i understanding used for gene sequencing? ij i1: understanding is used for gene sequencing? ii1 understanding is there used for gene sequencing? m1 understanding is there has used for gene sequencing? ii1 understanding is there has been a mmp understanding is there has been a ramp up of pcr tests, tcl swabs that get used to get sent for sequencing. pcr. i get used to get sent for sequencing. pcr. i guess it is where people have come from in that randomisation, it might not be completely random. if you don t fulfil the potential of a task, which in the case of pcr test is the ability to sequence bits of the gene, bits of the genetic code for the virus, there isn t a lot of point in doing them. the current proposals involve if you have a positive lateral flow test you will be swabbed and a sample will be taken for clear analysis for sequencing. taken for clear analysis for sequencing- taken for clear analysis for seaauencin. ~ i, i, ~ i, taken for clea
