Correlation assessment of SARS-CoV-2 variants and their subvariants present in clinical and wastewater samples in Oregon, USA (February 7, 2021 - February 26, 2022) using the Freyja bioinformatics approach.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Wastewater surveillance is a valuable tool for monitoring SARS-CoV-2 at the community level. As the virus diversified into many variants and subvariants that share overlapping mutations, resolving them accurately from wastewater becomes a key bioinformatic challenge. OBJECTIVES AND AIMS: This study evaluated two distinct bioinformatic approaches, multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and Freyja, for...
