“New Wave” of DNA Sequencing for Food Safety Launched at FAO-Led Training
Expert scientists from nine African countries convened recently in Accra, Ghana to launch a new wave of diagnostic testing aimed at improving food safety and controlling antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
The meeting, led by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), included a training session on laboratory and bioinformatics methods for DNA sequencing. Each participant was provided with a sequencing device and laptop computer required to apply their learnings in their own future work.
