How Has Genomic Epidemiology Evolved?

The integration of genomic sequencing into epidemiology has led to the emergence of genomic epidemiology. By analyzing the genetic material of pathogens, researchers can track mutations and understand transmission pathways. This was particularly useful during the COVID-19 pandemic, where genomic data was used to trace the origins and spread of the virus, as well as to monitor the emergence of new variants.
