Genome sequencing video

Have you heard talk about genome sequencing and COVID-19 and want to know more? 

Check out this short animation for tamariki (children) from Māui Studios with support from the University of Otago and the Institute of Environmental Science and Research. It features Koro, a scientist and his granddaughter, Ruia, who is intrigued by science and technology but tired of kōrero about COVID-19.
