SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has changed the global landscape since last two years. Against many challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic to the humanity, the pace of solutions created by mankind is exemplary; diagnostics, vaccines, alternate therapies, to name a few. With a rapidly changing virus strain, its early identification in the community can be a quick solution to trace the individuals and thus control its spread. This paper describes PCR based quick method for differentiation of Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 from other variants. Timely identification of this new variant will enable better management of pandemic control in the population.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
