Tracking SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern in wastewater: an assessment of nine computational tools using simulated genomic data

Steven G. Sutcliffe, Susanne A. Kraemer, Isaac Ellmen…·B. Jesse Shapiro

The paper evaluates nine computational tools for identifying SARS-CoV-2 lineages in wastewater sequencing data using simulated samples, finding most tools reliably detect lineages above 5% frequency.

Variance in Variants: Propagating Genome Sequence Uncertainty into Phylogenetic Lineage Assignment

David Champredon, Devan G. Becker, Connor Chato…·Art F. Y. Poon

This paper demonstrates how sequencing uncertainty affects phylogenetic lineage assignment and proposes a resampling method to propagate this uncertainty using SARS-CoV-2 data.
