Description: The DNA detectives are on the case! Combining cutting-edge genome sequencing technologies with traditional investigation methods to identify disease outbreaks and track pathogens to their source. Using examples from recent Canadian outbreaks, this session will offer an introduction to bacterial whole genome sequencing and describe how this technology is revolutionizing the surveillance of infectious diseases.
Start date: Upon registration
Completion: Up to 52 weeks
