Description
Munkhtuya Erendereg and a large team of co-authors report the molecular epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 in Mongolia. Their 2023 study is also the country's first experience with nanopore sequencing, set in a lower- and middle-income context.
Mongolia kept prevalence low until vaccines arrived, but it lacked systematic data and whole genome sequencing capacity. The team ran a two-step, nationally representative study of lineage patterns and variants for 2020 onward. Nanopore sequencing was used to build that capacity locally. Such work shows how genomic tracking can be set up where resources are limited, and it gives Mongolia a record of how the virus moved through the population.
