Detection of SARS-CoV-2 Δ426 ORF8 Deletion Mutant Cluster in NGS Screening
2023-08-04
Abstract excerpt
Next generation sequencing (NGS) from SARS-CoV-2-positive swabs collected during the last months of 2022 revealed a large deletion between ORF7b and ORF8 (426 nt) in six patients infected with the BA.5.1 Omicron variant. This extensive genome loss removed a large part of these two genes, maintaining in frame the first 22 aminoacids of ORF7b and the last 3 aminoacids of ORF8. Interestingly, the deleted region was f...
