Covered in this Webinar

See the data showing how influenza signals in air increased two orders of magnitude two weeks before clinical cases spiked.

How to achieve high-resolution genomic reconstruction for subtyping viruses like H1N1, H3N2, and potentially zoonotic threats like H5N1.

Strategies for enriching over 3,000 viral species simultaneously from complex environmental samples.

Traditional surveillance often misses the "silent" spread of viruses. Join experts from KU Leuven as they reveal data comparing indoor air and citywide wastewater monitoring. Using the Twist Comprehensive Viral Research Panel, this study demonstrates how hybrid-capture metagenomics can identify hundreds of viral species and generate comparative insights across environmental sample types.
