Another 380 SARS-CoV-2 genomes from Norfolk and Suffolk just about to roll off the sequenced at @TheQuadram for @CovidGenomicsUK
We work in plates of 96 samples (95 SARS-CoV-2+1 control). This week 4 plates were sequenced on a high output #Illumina NextSeq500. Over a dozen clinicians in @NNUH and scientists in @TheQuadram worked long hours to make this happen.
Teams at @NNUH Cotman Centre & Cytology work round the clock to test for SARS-CoV-2.Another team prepares the samples & brings them to @TheQuadram, another team prepares the RNA using the @NetworkArtic protocol, another team makes the libraries & sequences.
Then a team analyses the sequencing and deposits it with @CovidGenomicsUK with metadata pulled together by another team from the BioRepository. Finally the phylogenomics team takes over & looks at the local outbreaks, to feed back to the @NNUH clinicians.
This is only possible thanks to lots of highly skilled people working long hours and weekends. Thank you to you all
