M\u00e9rieux NutriSciences offers whole genome sequencing worldwide for bacterial identification and characterization.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whole Genome Sequencing is the best-in-class genomic sequencing solution to investigate foodborne outbreaks. Also known as WGS, it is the process of determining the complete DNA sequence of an organism’s genome at a single time. WGS is a revolution for public health surveillance. The World Health Organization is encouraging all countries to use this high-throughput technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bacterial whole genome sequencing helps food manufacturers understand the origin of punctual or recurring food contamination by pathogens and to prevent potential future outbreaks. It is a key to setting up an efficient Environmental Monitoring Program in food factories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
