Genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 using long-range PCR primers
14 Feb 2024
Abstract excerpt
Introduction: Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is crucial in the surveillance of the COVID-19 pandemic. Several primer schemes have been developed to sequence nearly all of the ~30,000 nucleotide SARS-CoV-2 genome, using a multiplex PCR approach to amplify cDNA copies of the viral genomic RNA. Midnight primers and ARTIC V4.1 primers are the most popular primer schemes that can amplify...
