Explore a 29-minute lecture on sequencing error, phylogenetics, and SARS-CoV-2 transmission in hospitals presented by Chris Illingworth from the University of Cambridge, UK. Delve into the complexities of genetic sequencing techniques and their applications in understanding viral transmission patterns, particularly in healthcare settings. Gain insights into how phylogenetic analysis is used to trace the spread of SARS-CoV-2 within hospital environments. Learn about the challenges posed by sequencing errors and how they impact the accuracy of phylogenetic trees. Discover the latest methodologies employed to mitigate these errors and improve the reliability of genetic data interpretation in epidemiological studies.
