NCM 2023 Singapore: Application and history of nanopore sequencing in helping China's CDC system

In the context of the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, the application of nanopore sequencing technology in the field of public health has attracted much attention. This technology can help to detect the genome sequence of the new coronavirus quickly and accurately, and gain insight into the spread and evolution of the virus. At the same time, this technology can also be applied to epidemic monitoring, disease diagnosis, epidemiological research, and genomics research to provide strong support for disease prevention and control. The application of nanopore sequencing in the field of public health has important significance and broad prospects.
