Advanced genetic sequencing techniques have undoubtedly provided valuable information on the biology and evolution of SARS-CoV-2. Never have the nearly 30 000 nucleotides of a virus been so closely considered by scientists, public health experts, and politicians alike. But the use and application of genetic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 has varied, risking an insufficient response to a rapidly changing pandemic.
Knowledge of the virus's RNA sequence was key in characterising SARS-CoV-2 and early sharing of its genetic data enabled the rapid development of diagnostics. The expeditious production of vaccines also owes much to information gleaned from rapid sequencing.
