Synthetic DNA spike-ins (SDSIs) enable sample tracking and detection of inter-sample contamination in SARS-CoV-2 sequencing workflows. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • The spread of SARS-CoV-2 has prompted a significant increase in viral genomic surveillance, raising concerns about contamination in sequencing methods.
  • Researchers introduced a new method called SDSI + AmpSeq, which adds 96 synthetic DNA spike-ins to track samples and detect contamination throughout the sequencing process.
  • This method was tested in a real-time investigation of SARS-CoV-2 cases and validated across thousands of samples, proving effective in reducing errors like sample swaps without compromising the quality of genomic data.

Article Abstract

The global spread and continued evolution of SARS-CoV-2 has driven an unprecedented surge in viral genomic surveillance. Amplicon-based sequencing methods provide a sensitive, low-cost and rapid approach but suffer a high potential for contamination, which can undermine laboratory processes and results. This challenge will increase with the expanding global production of sequences across a variety of laboratories for epidemiological and clinical interpretation, as well as for genomic surveillance of emerging diseases in future outbreaks. We present SDSI + AmpSeq, an approach that uses 96 synthetic DNA spike-ins (SDSIs) to track samples and detect inter-sample contamination throughout the sequencing workflow. We apply SDSIs to the ARTIC Consortium's amplicon design, demonstrate their utility and efficiency in a real-time investigation of a suspected hospital cluster of SARS-CoV-2 cases and validate them across 6,676 diagnostic samples at multiple laboratories. We establish that SDSI + AmpSeq provides increased confidence in genomic data by detecting and correcting for relatively common, yet previously unobserved modes of error, including spillover and sample swaps, without impacting genome recovery.
