It says quickly identifying new variants is critical because they threaten to make treatments and diagnostics ineffective, and to make the pandemic harder to control. The collaboration may involve Indonesia’s Research and Technology Ministry and Jakarta-based Eijkman Institute for Molecular Biology who already have the capability to genome sequence viruses.
