9. STORYTELLING
THE ABT MODEL
_____ and ______, but ______. Therefore, _______.
“Genomics is a powerful tool for investigating
disease outbreaks and is increasingly being used
by public health agencies around the world.
However, genomic investigations still rely heavily on
field epidemiology data, which is often incomplete
and sometimes not available at all. Therefore, we
developed a tool for reconstructing disease
transmission events from genomic data alone.”
