Description
|
Provides funding and three positions to support the new reportable disease testing standard. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is requiring participating laboratories, including the Division of Consolidated Laboratory Services, to move to a new testing standard called whole genome sequencing (WGS) when testing for reportable infectious diseases. WGS provides significantly more accurate and improved scientific data compared to the current standard, but WGS is also more expensive and requires more staff time to perform the test and interpret the results. |
