Abstract excerpt
Genome sequencing from wastewater enables accurate and cost-effective identification of SARS-CoV-2 variants. However, existing computational pipelines have limitations in detecting emerging variants not yet characterized in humans. Here, we present an unsupervised learning approach that clusters co-varying and time-evolving mutation patterns to identify SARS-CoV-2 variants. To build our model, we sequence 3659...
