"DNA sequencing tools help scientists look at genomes of microbes"

---

29 August 2011 - The New York Times


"Several teams of U.S. scientists are using DNA sequencing technologies to rapidly decipher the genomes of microbes to determine the origins of diseases.

"One team is planning to create disease weather maps and prevent disease outbreaks by gathering samples from various locations, such as hospitals and subways, and mapping the microorganisms' genomes.

"Meanwhile, another group was able to determine through DNA sequencing techniques the cause of death of a man suspected to have died of inhalation anthrax."
