A Qualitative RT-PCR Assay for the Specific Identification of the SARS-CoV-2 B.1.1.529 (Omicron) Variant of Concern

2022-01-28

Abstract excerpt

Objectives: The aim of this study was to develop a RT-PCR assay for the specific detection of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant as a rapid alternative to sequencing.<br><br>Methods: A RT-PCR was designed <i>in silico</i> and validated using characterised clinical samples containing Omicron (both BA.1 and BA.2 sub-lineages) and the Omicron synthetic RNA genome. As negative controls, SARS-CoV-2 positive clinical sample...
