Genetic diversity among sars-cov2 strains in South America may impact performance of molecular detection
Detection Principle
Others
Target
whole genomes
Testing Method Category
In_silico
Testing Method
in silico
Testing Method - Additional Info
review all available primer-probe sets targeting the E, N, and RdRp genes against available South American SARS-CoV-2 genomes checking for nucleotide variations in annealing sites
Reported Performance
remark: no nucleotide variations on the E-gene target region, in contrast to the N and RdRp genes
Sample Size
300 genomes
Peer-reviewed
yes
