We conducted retrospective analysis of the emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 JN.1 variant in US wastewater during November 2023-July 2024 using Aquascope, a bioinformatics pipeline for the National Wastewater Surveillance System. This study highlights the value of open-source bioinformatics tools in tracking pathogen variants for public health monitoring.
Keywords: COVID-19; SARS-CoV-2; bioinformatics; computational biology; public health surveillance; respiratory infections; severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2; viruses; wastewater surveillance; wastewater-based epidemiological monitoring; zoonoses.
