Abstract
As the worldwide spreading epidemic of SARS-CoV-2, quick inspection and quarantine of passengers for SARS-CoV-2 infection are essential for controlling the spread of SARS-CoV-2, especially the cross-border transmission. This study reports a SARS-CoV-2 genome sequencing method based on a re-sequencing tiling array successfully used in border inspection and quarantine. The tiling array chip has four cores, with one core of 240,000 probes dedicated to the whole genome sequencing of the SAR-CoV-2 genome. The assay protocol has been improved to reduce the detection time to within one day and can detect 96 samples in parallel. The detection accuracy has been validated. This fast and simple procedure is also of low cost and high accuracy, and it is particularly suitable for the rapid tracking of viral genetic variants in custom inspection applications. Combining these properties means this method has significant application potential in the clinical investigation and quarantine of SARS-CoV-2. We used this SARS-CoV-2 genome re-sequencing tiling array to inspect and quarantine China's entry and exit ports in the Zhejiang Province. From November 2020 to January 2022, we observed the gradual shift of SARS-CoV-2 variants from the D614G type to the Delta Variant, and then to the dominance of the Omicron variant recently, consistently with the global emergency pattern of the new SARS-CoV-2 variant.
