The Higher Health Institute and the
Celio military hospital's scientific department have sequenced
the whole coronavirus genomes of the Chinese patient and the
patient #1 at Codogno in Lombardy, they said Monday.
The sequence of a Veneto patient will soon be available also,
they said.
The ISS said the sequencing had important implications: it
will allow researchers to know the entire genetic code of the
virus and follow its change over time and space.
This will be essential for knowing and following the clusters
and investigating the structure of the virus itself, they said.
