Within weeks of the first known animal-to-human transmission, scientists had sequenced the virus's full genome.

在动物传人首例通报后的数周内，科学家就已经将病毒的全基因组定序完成。

The researchers looked at nearly 12 million virus genomes and found almost 3,000 times a virus jumped from one species to another.

研究人员研究了近1200万个病毒基因组，发现病毒从一个物种传播另一个物种近3000次。

The sample is taken to a central laboratory where PCR is performed to test for the presence of the virus' genome.

样本被带到中央实验室，在那里进行 PCR 以测试病毒基因组的存在。

The computing power developed to map the complete human genome is now being used to follow small changes in the virus' genome as it spreads.

为绘制完整的人类基因组而开发的计算能力现在被用于跟踪病毒基因组在传播过程中的微小变化。
