Abstract excerpt
Mutations in SARS-CoV-2 primer/probe targets can compromise RT-PCR sensitivity, leading to false negatives and undetected viral transmission. This study evaluated mutational landscapes of 20 primer/probe sets targeting E, N, Orf1b-nsp14, RdRp, and S genes using 1,35,852 high-quality genomes across ten countries, five major variants, and three time periods (pre-vaccination, post-vaccination, and recent). Mutations...
