How to identify the presence of SARS-CoV-2 virus variants in a certain area?

Watch the webinar with Dr. Nicolas Sierro, Manager Genomics & Transcriptomics at PMI Science, who will shed the light on this question using Neuchâtel in Switzerland as an example. This webinar highlights the process for identifying the presence of the VOC 20I/501Y.V1 variant in samples from the Neuchâtel area – from early RT-qPCR S-dropout screening to full viral genome sequencing.

Summary: Researchers here develop a “no sample pre-treatment” method for direct detection and differentiation of infectious from noninfectious human adenovirus and SARS-CoV-2 using DNA aptamers. Celero DNA-Seq Kit was used as the kit for library preparation.

[Preprint] Sumary: from the University of La Réunion performed in-house genome sequencing to understand the diffusion of SARS-Cov-2 strains in Reunion Island. The researchers used a hybrid approach, by combining Oxford Nanopore Technologies and Illumina sequencing, to improve the viral genomic assemblies. The libraries for Illumina sequencing were generated using 10 ng of cDNA using the Celero EZ library prep protocol.
