Quantitative SARS-CoV-2 Alpha Variant B.1.1.7 Tracking in Wastewater by Allele-Specific RT-qPCR

Quantitative SARS-CoV-2 Alpha Variant B.1.1.7 Tracking in Wastewater by Allele-Specific RT-qPCR

The critical need for surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern has prompted the development of methods that can track variants in wastewater. Here, we develop and present an open-source method based on allele-specific RT-qPCR (AS RT-qPCR) that detects and quantifies the B.1.1.7 variant, target...
