Show abstract
Here we provide technical data for amplifying the complete genome of SARS-CoV-2 from clinical samples using only seventeen pairs of primers. We demonstrate that the [C]V2000bp primer panel successfully produces genomes when used with the residual total RNA extracts from positive clinical samples following diagnostic RT-PCRs (with Ct in the range from 13 to 20). The library preparation method reported here includes genome amplification of ~1750-2000 bp fragments followed by ultrasonic fragmentation combined with the introduction of Illumina compatible adapters. Using the SCV2000bp panel, 25 complete SARS-CoV-2 virus genome sequences were sequenced from clinical samples of COVID-19 patients from Moscow obtained in late March - early April.
