Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of reducing genomic sequencing on SARS-CoV-2 surveillance outcomes in Switzerland, analyzing over 143,000 sequences.
- Results show that while some key outcomes like variant detection and cluster analysis could still be achieved with only 35% of the original sequencing effort, this reduction varies significantly by viral lineage.
- The research highlights the need for genomic surveillance programs to balance cost and public health benefits, emphasizing that reduced sequencing may compromise accuracy in tracking emerging variants of concern.
