Genomic Surveillance for SARS-CoV-2 at Southeast Michigan
RNA was extracted from nasal swab samples using MagMAX Viral/Pathogen Nucleic Acid Isolation Kit (Applied Biosystems, Cat # A48310) using Thermo Scientifics Kingfisher Apex platform (protocol MagMax_MVP_Standard_v1). SARS-CoV-2 variants were determined using whole genome sequencing with the QIAseq DIRECT Kit.
