Publication number: 20220154270Abstract: Provided herein are fully-automated next-generation sequencing platforms and processes for detection of a target specimen (e.g., SARS-CoV-2) and for distinguishing infectious from non-infectious signals from the specimen. An analysis can provide simultaneous diagnosis and genomic surveillance of a multitude of distinct specimens in a sample information. The analysis can comprise distinguishing between infectious versus infectious specimens and provide a recommendation as to how infectious the sample can be. The information on can be used to better inform the status of a subject or a location with regards to infectivity from the specimen.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2021Publication date: May 19, 2022Inventors: Sasan Amini, Ramin Khaksar, Michael Taylor, Prasanna Thwar Krishnan, David Tran, Shaokang Zhang, Shadi Shokralla, Kyle Rhoden, Susan Jisoon Lee, Bryan Thomas Barney, Sima Mortazavi, Adam Forrest Allred, Henrik Gehrmann
