A New Way to Detect Any Human Virus

Now, scientists in the lab of Pardis Sabeti at there Broad Institute have created a way to design molecular baits that can grab viral particles. The new tool, called CATCH, will enable researchers to study viruses that are only present at low levels in clinical samples. The work has been reported in Nature Biotechnology. Sabeti discussess how we monitor and respond to infectious disease outbreaks in the video."As genomic sequencing becomes a critical part of disease surveillance, tools like C...
