The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) has begun work with Eurofins Genomics with the objective to monitor mutations across European countries. The EU/EEA Member States are in the phase of increasing both their sequencing capacities and capabilities to set up a robust surveillance system that allows for the detection and monitoring of variant viruses. To support this goal, Eurofins Genomics will provide additional sequencing capacity by using the ARTIC Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology with a rapid turn-around time including bioinformatic services and volume of thousands of samples per week.
