Detecting SARS-CoV-2 Omicron B.1.1.529 Variant in Wastewater Samples by Using Nanopore Sequencing
Lasse D Rasmussen, Stine R Richter, Sofie E Midgley, Kristina T Franck
Abstract
We report wastewater surveillance for SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern by using mutation-specific, real-time PCR and rapid nanopore sequencing. This surveillance might be useful for an early warning in a scenario in which a new variant is emerging, even in areas that have low virus incidences.
Keywords: B.1.1.529; COVID-19; Denmark. Omicron; SARS-CoV-2; coronaviruses; emerging variants; nanopore sequencing; respiratory infections; severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2; variants of concern; viruses; wastewater surveillance; zoonoses.
