![]() ![]() ![]() The sample with the lowest viral load ( C T value of 32.54) achieved 89% coverage using the MiSeq method and failed to sequence with the AmpliSeq method. Similar coverage levels (>98%) were observed for 81/83 primary specimens that were sequenced with both methods tested. A total of 176 of the 191 clinical specimens sequenced on the S5XL system and prepared using the SARS-CoV-2 research panel had nearly complete coverage (>98%) of the viral genome, with an average depth of 5,031×. Of the 191 clinical specimens, 83 (with threshold cycle values of 15.58 to 32.54) were also sequenced using an Illumina MiSeq-based method with the ARTIC analysis pipeline, for direct comparison. A total of 191 clinical specimens and a single cultured isolate were extracted and sequenced with AmpliSeq technology and analysis tools. The objectives were to assess the performance of the SARS-CoV-2 AmpliSeq research panel and S5 plug-in analysis tools for whole-genome sequencing analysis of SARS-CoV-2 and to compare the results with those obtained with the MiSeq-based ARTIC analysis pipeline, using metrics such as depth, coverage, and concordance of single-nucleotide variant (SNV) calls. ![]() Fast and effective methods are needed for sequencing of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) genome to track genetic mutations and to identify new and emerging variants during the ongoing pandemic. ![]()
