Abstract Summary
Genomics is poised to revolutionize public health preparedness against biological threats. As sequencing technology becomes more affordable and accessible, it offers a proactive approach to detecting and understanding emerging infectious diseases. Success requires continued investment in next-generation sequencing, robust bioinformatics infrastructure, and open data sharing.
Why Brain? đź§
Genomics can transform biodefense from reactive to proactive by enabling early identification and prediction of biological threats through affordable sequencing and bioinformatics tools.
