  • Publication number: 20230094433
    Abstract: Methods, kits, and oligonucleotides used in the detection of the coronavirus strain, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), are disclosed. In some aspects, the oligonucleotides are primers or probes used in the described methods or kits. The oligonucleotide consists of 40 or less nucleotides and has a nucleotide sequence that consists essentially of, or is a variant of, the nucleotide sequence of: SEQ ID NO:7, SEQ ID NO:8, SEQ ID NO:9, or SEQ ID NO:10.

  • Publication number: 20220415439
    Abstract: An Amplicon Sequencing Analysis Pipeline (ASAP) system (120, 600) characterizes a genetic sample. The ASAP system (120, 600) receives assay configuration data individually associating reference sequences and genetic characteristics. The ASAP system (120, 600) processes amplicon sequencing data and the reference sequences to characterize the genetic sample based on the individual associations between the reference sequences and the genetic characteristics in the assay configuration data. The ASAP (120, 600) system transfers genetic data indicating the genetic characteristics for the genetic sample and indicating interpretation metrics for amplicon sequencing read depth and quality related to the genetic characteristics.
