                | What Tools Do Scientists Use to Study
                Viruses?During
                the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists were able to decode the
                SARS-CoV-2 virus’s genome in under 48 hours, get a view of its
                microscopic structure with unprecedented detail, and forecast
                its spread with the help of mathematical modeling. In this new
                video, discover the various tools and methods that help
                researchers track viruses and develop defenses like vaccines
                and antiviral drugs. |  |  |  |
