Sequencing has played an important role during the COVID-19 pandemic, from enabling the rapid identification of SARS-CoV-2 as the causative agent to the subsequent development of diagnostic tests, vaccines and other tools. It continues to support surveillance efforts that monitor the disease’s spread and the evolution of the virus.
This application note presents a hybridization-based method for whole-genome sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 that has been shown to successfully detect alpha, delta and omicron variants.
Download to learn how this method can:
- Obtain reads covering the entire SARS-CoV-2 genome
- Enable the detection of a wide array of variants
- Help address the growing demand for epidemiological surveillance
