'FDA is pioneering the use of whole genome sequencing to reduce illnesses and deaths from foodborne illness. GenomeTrakr, a network of federal, state, academic, and other laboratories around the world, is making genomic information from foodborne pathogens publicly available so it can be used to speed outbreak investigations and to improve food safety processes.'
