HERO JOURNEY 002 · TECHNOLOGY / CAPABILITY LENS
WGS / Genomics across CIDM
A second way to travel through CIDM: not by disease, but by a technology that crosses pathogens, outbreaks, surveillance, databases and public-health practice.
185WGS-classified records
43WGS-only classification
120WGS + culture
1995–2026indexed span*
The capability road
Sequence analysis → clinical/public-health WGS → TB resistance → outbreak surveillance → SARS-CoV-2 genomic epidemiology → genomic databases → routine public-health standards → spatio-temporal intelligence

What this lens reveals
Disease lens: asks how one scientific domain changes over time.
Technology lens: asks how one capability travels across many organisms and scientific questions.
iCIDM opportunity: compare the two lenses without flattening them into the same taxonomy.
*Important calibration: the current classifier labels some early sequence-analysis publications as “Whole-genome sequencing”. Therefore 1995–2026 is the current indexed classification span, not a claim that modern clinical WGS existed at CIDM in 1995. This is exactly the kind of taxonomy issue iCIDM should expose for colleague review rather than hide.
