MGI Webinar | High Throughput Sequencing of SARS-COV-2 Complete Genomes from Respiratory Samples Using DNBSEQ-G50*: A Nigerian Experience and Lessons Learned
Release date:2022-07-15Writer:MGIViews:2809Share

Abstract:

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 continues to emerge as a global health problem of unprecedented impacts. Here, we described MGI’s ATOPlex library workflow to obtain the SARS-CoV-2 genome libraries from randomly selected Nigerian patients that tested positive for COVID-19, including evaluating the performance of the DNBSEQ-G50 sequencer in SARS-CoV-2 lineage characterization. Analyses of the complete genome datasets of the SARS-CoV-2 isolates enabled us to obtain 293,258 – 20,000,000 raw reads with 291,502 - 19,879,520 (99.17 - 99.91%) mapping to the reference SARS-CoV-2 genome, and analysis revealed the occurrence of 9 distinct lineages among the SARS-CoV-2 isolates. To date, NIMR has sequenced hundreds more SARS-CoV-2 genomes from COVID-19 positive samples using the DNBSEQ-G50. These data will contribute to informing a robust and dynamic public health response for containment of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in Nigeria, Africa, and other continents of the world.
