Preliminary in silico assessment of the specificity of published molecular assays and design of new assays using the available whole genome sequences of 2019-nCoV

Updated to 81,375 COVID-19 WGS from GISAID.

Table 1. Results from PSET analysis. The five Noblis assays were compared alongside the four assays from Corman and three assays from the CDC. Along with assays from China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Japan, France, South Korea, and Singapore. Each assay was tested using SARS-CoV-2 as the intended target. All off-target hits (TN, PF, FP) are to entries in NCBI BLAST databases (nt and env_nt).

Table 1. Results from PSET analysis. The five Noblis assays were compared alongside the four assays from Corman and three assays from the CDC. Along with assays from China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Japan, France, South Korea, and Singapore. Each assay was tested using SARS-CoV-2 as the intended target. All off-target hits (TN, PF, FP) are to entries in NCBI BLAST databases (nt and env_nt). *edited 2/2 to include 5 additional assays.

Table 1. Results from PSET analysis. The five Noblis assays were compared alongside the four assays from Corman and three assays from the CDC. Along with assays from China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Japan, France, South Korea, and Singapore. Each assay was tested using SARS-CoV-2 as the intended target. All off-target hits (TN, PF, FP) are to entries in NCBI BLAST databases (nt and env_nt). *edited 2/2 to include 5 additional assays.

Table 1. PSET analysis using SARS-CoV-2 as the intended target. Perfect True Positive (PT), True Positive (TP), and False Negative (FN) counts for various assays were produced in each run. The five Noblis assays were compared alongside with assays produced in the US including the Corman (four assays) and CDC (three assays) brands. Assays originating from China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Japan, France, South Korea, and Singapore were also used in this comparison. Algorithms were set to penalize Ns on the subject sequence. Internal improvement to the PSET algorithms and snakemake (Snakemake — Snakemake 6.2.1 documentation) pipeline implementations decreased the Type I and Type II error rates compared with previous versions. We no longer calculate off-target hits due to the continued stability of these values.

Table 1. PSET analysis using SARS-CoV-2 as the intended target. Perfect True Positive (PT), True Positive (TP), and False Negative (FN) counts for various assays were produced in each run. The five Noblis assays were compared alongside with assays produced in the US including the Corman (four assays) and CDC (three assays) brands. Assays originating from China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Japan, France, South Korea, and Singapore were also used in this comparison. Algorithms were set to penalize Ns on the subject sequence. Internal improvement to the PSET algorithms and snakemake (Snakemake — Snakemake 6.2.1 documentation 2) pipeline implementations decreased the Type I and Type II error rates compared with previous versions. We no longer calculate off-target hits due to the continued stability of these values.
