Multi-omics in COVID-19: Seeing the unseen but overlooked in the clinic
Tian Lu, Yingrui Wang, Tiannan Guo
Abstract
COVID-19 is an ongoing pandemic of global concern and is unlikely to disappear. This commentary discusses how multi-omics technologies have helped uncover the molecular processes and dynamics underlying COVID-19 initiation, progression, and transmission, and how lack of standardization has limited their application in clinical settings.
