Abstract excerpt
Tracking severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants through whole genome sequencing (WGS) is vital for effective infection control and prevention (IPC) measures, but can be time-consuming and resource-heavy. We describe an in-house validation of an allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (ASP) variant assay to detect variants of concern (VOC). ASP sensitivity for detecting Delta,...
