Prospective clinical performance of CoVarScan in identifying SARS-CoV-2 Omicron subvariants.

Abstract excerpt

The purpose of this work was to evaluate the performance of CoVarScan, a multiplex fragment analysis approach, in identifying severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants of the Omicron lineage rapidly and accurately. The ability to identify variants with high fidelity and low turnaround time is important both epidemiologically and clinically for pandemic monitoring and therapeutic...
