Accelerating MPXV and SARS-CoV-2 Virus Whole Genome Sequencing using Combination of NextGenPCR and Oxford Nanopore…..Towards Real-Time Genomic Surveillance
Rapid genomic surveillance of pathogens can provide valuable insights, in order to guide public health interventions. Novel workflows using nanopore technology enables for real-time sequencing of clinical samples. However, current library preparation workflows are limited and can take up to 5 hours whereby PCR takes around 3,5 hours. By using NextGenPCR technology it is possible to decrease the PCR library preparation to 27 minutes for the SARS-CoV-2 Midnight protocol from Nikkie Freed et al… Continue reading
