A Viral Fragmentation Signature for SARS-CoV-2 in Clinical Samples Correlating with Contagiousness
2021-01-15
Abstract excerpt
The viral load of SARS-CoV-2 in clinical samples as measured by the primary diagnostic tool of RT-PCR is an imperfect readout for infection potential as most targeted assays designed for sensitivity, indiscriminately detect short and long RNA fragments, although infectivity is embodied only in the whole virus and its intact genome. Here, we used next-generation sequencing (NGS) to characterize 155 clinical samples...
