genome sequencing

Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackrey virtually inaugurated Mumbai's first genome sequence laboratory at the Nair hospital to battle the Covid-19 pandemic. The Next-generation Genome Sequence (NGS) is capable of analyzing a large number of samples and give results quickly. "The hospital was set up 100 years ago with the help of philanthropists and today as well, donors have come forward. This is the tradition," Thackrey said.
