The rapid emergence of COVID-19 as a global pandemic affecting millions of individuals globally has necessitated sensitive and high-throughput approaches for the diagnosis, surveillance, and genetic epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2.

This presentation describes the application of the COVIDSeq assay as a high-sensitivity assay for detection of SARS-CoV-2, with an additional advantage of enabling genetic epidemiology and surveillance of SARS-CoV-2.
