The rapid spread of COVID-19 made it necessary to quickly collect and share viral genomic sequences, sometimes making quantity prevail over the quality of information. Can research pay this price? Blockchain technology, based on the concept of a ledger that guarantees the authenticity and traceability of information, could be the best applicable solution.
新冠病毒病(COVID-19)的迅速传播使得快速收集和共享病毒基因组序列成为必要,有时导致信息数量优先于质量。研究能付出这个代价吗?基于保证信息真实性和可追溯性账本概念的区块链技术可能是最合适的解决方案。
