Jumpcode to Help Sequence COVID-19

In a new article from the San Diego Business Journal, Natallie Rocha speaks with Yaron Hakak, Jumpcode Genomics CEO, about a collaboration with the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) to help sequence and examine the genomic epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The collaboration will give researchers the opportunity to examine the specificity of Jumpcode’s metagenomic diagnostic against standard focused PCR-based testing for analyzing COVID-19 samples and possible co-infections that were not revealed through PCR testing.
