Abstract excerpt
The global demand for rapid identification of circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern has led to a shortage of commercial kits. Therefore, this study aimed to develop and validate a rapid, cost-efficient genome sequencing protocol to identify circulating SARS-CoV-2 (variants of concern). Sets of primers flanking the SARS-CoV-2 spike gene were designed, verified and then validated using 282 nasopharyngeal...
