- W4285807885 abstract "Amplicon-based sequencing methods are central in characterizing the diversity, transmission, and evolution of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), but need to be rigorously assessed for clinical utility. Herein, we validated the Swift Biosciences' SARS-CoV-2 Swift Normalase Amplicon Panels using remnant clinical specimens. High-quality genomes meeting our established library and sequence quality criteria were recovered from positive specimens, with 95% limit of detection of 40.08 SARS-CoV-2 copies/PCR. Breadth of genome recovery was evaluated across a range of CT values (11.3 to 36.7; median, 21.6). Of 428 positive samples, 413 (96.5%) generated genomes with <10% unknown bases, with a mean genome coverage of 13,545× ± SD 8382×. No genomes were recovered from PCR-negative specimens (n = 30) or from specimens positive for non–SARS-CoV-2 respiratory viruses (n = 20). Compared with whole-genome shotgun metagenomic sequencing (n = 14) or Sanger sequencing for the spike gene (n = 11), pairwise identity between consensus sequences was 100% in all cases, with highly concordant allele frequencies (R2 = 0.99) between Swift and shotgun libraries. When samples from different clades were mixed at varying ratios, expected variants were detected even in 1:99 mixtures. When deployed as a clinical test, 268 tests were performed in the first 23 weeks, with a median turnaround time of 11 days, ordered primarily for outbreak investigations and infection control.

This assay can generate libraries in <3 hours using an input concentration of only 10 to 100+ viral copies for single-strand cDNA or double-strand cDNA synthesis. This can be followed by either manual normalization or Swift Biosciences' proprietary enzymatic normalization of multiplexed libraries for equimolar pools.For clinical use, sequencing assays need to be rigorously validated, documented, and performed in Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments–accredited laboratories. However, no specific guidelines currently exist for the development and validation of WGS assays for SARS-CoV-2. We validated the Swift Biosciences' one-tube SARS-CoV-2 SNAP Version 2.0—the first clinical validation of an NGS-based assay for WGS of SARS-CoV-2 to our knowledge—according to US Food and Drug Administration’s “Considerations for Design, Development, and Analytical Validation of Next Generation Sequencing-Based in Vitro Diagnostics Intended to Aid in the Diagnosis of Suspected Germline Diseases” (https://www.fda.gov/media/99208/download, last accessed January 4, 2021) and US Food and Drug Administration's “Submitting Next Generation Sequencing Data to the Division of Antiviral Products Guidance for Industry” Technical Specifications Document (https://www.fda.gov/regulatory-information/search-fda-guidance-documents/submitting-next-generation-sequencing-data-division-antiviral-products-guidance-industry-technical, last accessed August 19, 2021). Using clinical specimens, the analytical sensitivity, analytical specificity, limit of detection, accuracy, and precision (reproducibility and repeatability) of the assay were evaluated, establishing acceptance criteria for sequencing libraries and output genomes. This assay is now available as a clinically orderable test, with results returned to physicians to aid in disease management and treatment. It has been used in multiple vaccine trials, research studies, validation of other NGS-based assays, and sequencing SARS-CoV-2 for public health surveillance and outbreak investigation.4Fauver J.R.

The aim was to determine analytical sensitivity (limit of detection), analytical specificity, accuracy, and precision (reproducibility and repeatability) of the assay using remnant clinical specimens described below.Clinical SpecimensUse of deidentified remnant clinical specimens from University of Washington Virology Laboratory for SARS-CoV-2 testing was approved by the University of Washington Institutional Review Board. Specimens were tested for SARS-CoV-2 using one of the following PCR assays: CDC-based Laboratory Developed Assays, Abbott m2000 (Abbott Laboratories, Chicago, IL); Roche Cobas (Roche, Basel, Switzerland); or Hologic Panther/Panther Fusion (Hologic, Marlborough, MA).39Lieberman J.A.

This included SARS-CoV-2–positive specimens (n = 428), specimens negative for both SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory viruses (n = 30), and specimens positive only for other respiratory viruses (n = 20). Water was used as a negative control, and previously confirmed and sequenced SARS-CoV-2–positive specimens were used as positive controls.SARS-CoV-2 Virus Culture IsolatesFor detection of within-sample variation, two previously sequenced culture isolates from different clades were used: WA-UW-20236 TM, EPI_ISL_4926371, Nextstrain clade 20A, and WA-UW-19433 TM, EPI_ISL_4926374, 20B.
