More than a year after the first reported case in Wuhan, SARS-CoV-2 has caused unprecedented havoc across the globe never seen in human history. As a local response to the global pandemic, the Philippine Genome Center Mindanao (PGC Mindanao) has partnered with Accessible Genomics, the University of Glasgow, and COVID-19 laboratories in Mindanao to engage in a research project that will investigate the dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 spread in selected hospitals and communities of the region. Viral RNA collected from COVID-19 patients in some laboratories and hospitals in Mindanao will be sequenced by PGC Mindanao using the MinION, a portable genetic sequencer donated by Accessible Genomics, which will also serve as a learning experience for the Center as it prepares to expand its omics facility and services. Results from the sequencing will solely be used for research purposes to subsequently aid local hospitals and communities in COVID-19 prevention and control.
