Whole Genome Sequencing

Application of whole genome sequencing (WGS) offers the possibility to rapidly transform and improve our understanding of the epidemiology of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) determinants. Below you find links to training material and publications, as well as more practical guidance and tools for performing WGS.

Please see further details in relation to below:

Proficiency test

It is advisable for laboratories to participate in proficiency tests (PT) regarding WGS. Find further details about an example of a relevant PT here.

Companies for outsourcing

If performing whole genome sequencing is not possible in your laboratory facilities, there are several companies available world-wide to whom some or all of the sequencing and bioinformatics tasks can be outsourced.
