Project Title:
“SARS – CoV-2 network For Genomic Surveillance in Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa
NGS-BRICS”
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The SARS-CoV-2 NGS-BRICS Consortium includes some of the leading scientific organizations in
Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. The aim of the consortium is to accelerate the
translation of genomic data into clinical and public health research and interventions. This is
proposed to be achieved by allowing a more comprehensive and accurate detection of COVID-19
lineages from clinical and surveillance samples, using the genomic technologies, and
epidemiologic and bioinformatics tools to expand our knowledge of viruses and virus infections
at the molecular and clinical level, allowing faster characterization of emerging lineages and
assisting with the surveillance of those viruses and accelerates the development of next
generation sequencing technology for future use in diagnostic assays and tracking transmission
dynamics of COVID-19 and other viruses. The overarching aim of this project is to create an
integrated, cross disciplinary, collaborative genomics research program between leading BRICS
scientific organizations to advance COVID-19 knowledge relevant for public health and
contribute to improvements in health outcomes.
