SYDNEY \u2013 Australian scientists said on Thursday they had developed a rapid genome sequencing method that would cut to within four hours the time taken to trace the source of coronavirus cases, helping to quickly contain any future outbreaks.<\/p>\n

Genome sequencing can help scientists monitor small changes in the virus at a national or international scale to understand how it is spreading and provide insight into how different cases are linked.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen a new \u2018mystery\u2019 coronavirus case is identified, every minute counts,\u201d Ira Deveson, scientist at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research, said in a report, prepared in collaboration with the University of New South Wales (UNSW).<\/p>\n

Genomic testing helps track the source of mystery cases, the ones whose source of infection remains unknown. But results often take more than 24 hours now.<\/p>\n

The novel coronavirus genome is about 30,000 letters long, but tiny compared with the 3 billion letters that make up the DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, of the human genome.<\/p>\n

The virus can alter the genetic signature of the hosts as it replicates itself inside them.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy identifying this genetic variation, we can establish how different cases of coronavirus are linked,\u201d UNSW scientist Rowena Bull said.<\/p>\n

Australia has largely avoided the high number of cases and deaths from the virus compared with other developed countries, cautiously easing restrictions after reporting zero local COVID-19 cases for the past several days.<\/p>\n

It has reported just under 28,000 cases of COVID-19 and 908 deaths since the pandemic began but estimates there are fewer than 50 active cases remaining, mostly returned travel<\/a>ers from overseas in hotel quarantine.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
