What Are the Challenges in Genomic Studies of Infectious Diseases?
Despite the advances, there are several challenges in genomic studies of infectious diseases:
- Genetic Diversity: High mutation rates in some pathogens lead to significant genetic variability. - Data Management: Handling and interpreting large genomic datasets require sophisticated bioinformatics tools. - Ethical Concerns: Genomic studies often involve sensitive data that need to be handled with care to protect privacy.
