Overview

The Pan-Coronavirus Panel (Pan-CoV) allows for detection and sequencing of known human and animal coronaviruses and closely related novel coronaviruses with the potential to become infectious to humans. It includes hybrid–capture oligos that span across reference genomes of multiple coronavirus strains and various known animal hosts. 

When combined with Illumina RNA Prep with Enrichment, the Pan-Coronavirus Panel enables whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of 225 known human and animal coronaviruses. The targeted enrichment approach captures mutations and variants throughout the viral genome, enabling sequencing of novel coronavirus strains and detection of recombination between strains. 

The panel can be used for multiple applications, including:

  • Surveillance to identify and monitor coronaviruses in animal hosts

  • Track transmission patterns and viral mutations

  • Guide vaccine and therapeutic developments

Integrated viral sequencing solution

The Pan-Coronavirus Panel can integrate into a comprehensive workflow that includes library preparation, target enrichment, next-generation sequencing (NGS), and powerful data analysis, providing a simple means to obtain robust and reliable viral results.

Required products

Illumina RNA Prep with Enrichment, (L) Tagmentation (16 or 96 Samples) needs to be ordered separately as well as index adapters. Illumina DNA/RNA Indexes Set A, B, C, or D can be used.

We recommend ordering the Illumina DNA/RNA UD Indexes Sets A-D (20091654, 20091656, 20091658, 20091660) since the IDT for Illumina DNA/RNA UD Indexes Sets A-D (20027213, 20027214,20042666, 20042667) are being discontinued.

Improved coronavirus genome coverage

Median coverage of synthetic viral RNA controls (SARS-CoV-2 and HCoV229E) in 10 ng UHR after enrichment with the Pan-Coronavirus Panel. Increased read depth (top) and read length (bottom) resulted in improved genome coverage. Read lengths were trimmed to 36, 74, 100, and 149 bp.

FAQs

The panel is built with enrichment probes that allows for most variants to be captured effectively. In addition, the Pan-Coronavirus Panel was designed to enrich for 225 coronavirus genotypes from various animal sources and expected to capture most novel coronaviruses. For example, the Pan-Coronavirus Panel was designed before the Omicron variant but was still shown to enrich for the entire genome with high coverage (see data sheet for details).

Yes, the Pan-Coronavirus Panel was designed to work on environmental samples and samples from various animal sources. In fact, the panel is to be used for sequencing of coronviruses from diverse sample types such as bats, wastewater, and any potential coronavirus host. To maximize success with the panels, use the highest quality RNA you can obtain.

There is a free DRAGEN Microbial Enrichment Plus that can assemble contigs and explore genome coverage/depth, in addition to other outputs.
