ABSTRACT
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been responsible for over two years of the COVID-19 pandemic and a global health emergency. Genomic surveillance plays a key role in overcoming the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic despite its relative successive waves and the continuous emergence of new variants. Many technological approaches are currently applied for the whole genome sequencing (WGS) of SARS-CoV-2. They differ in key stages of the process, and they feature some differences in genomic coverage, sequencing depth, and in the accuracy of variant-calling options. In this study, three different protocols for SARS-CoV-2 WGS library construction are compared an amplicon-based protocol with a commercial primer panel; an amplicon-based protocol with a custom panel; and a hybridization capture protocol. Specific differences in sequencing depth and genomic coverage as well as differences in SNP number were found. The custom panel showed suitable results and a predictable output applicable for the epidemiological surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 variants.
