From page 136...
... asked the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to convene an ad hoc committee that would lay out a framework to help define and describe the data needs for a system that can track and correlate viral genome sequences with clinical and epidemiological data. The resulting system, outlined in this report, is designed to help integrate data sharing and data analysis on the evolution of SARS-CoV-2 into public health practice and decision making.

... To read the full text of this recommendation, see the Recommendations Insert. BUILDING A FRAMEWORK TO TRACK AND CORRELATE VIRAL GENOME SEQUENCES WITH CLINICAL AND EPIDEMIOLOGICAL DATA When combined with other types of data, researchers and public health officials may be able to use viral genome sequence data to inform questions related to transmission of a virus, virus evolution, and how the virus manifests as a disease.
