Abstract:

WHO announced the COVID-19 epidemic as a global pandemic on 11 March 2020. Understanding the genome of the pathogen SARS-CoV-2 virus, and unravelling the science behind the virus will pave the way for controlling the disease. This manuscript summarized the aspects that virus genome could contribute to, including virus identification, essential gene analysis, virus origination, transmission dynamics, and epidemic prediction. Meanwhile, key directions of SARS-CoV-2 virus genomics in the current stage, and the importance of communication and collaboration are stated.
