Presented By: Stephen Jackson Speaker Biography: Dr. Jackson has over 10 years of experience in genetic analysis technologies. As a senior member of the Content Engine R&D team at Thermo Fisher Scientific, he helps develop solutions for the research and healthcare markets, leveraging varied technologies such as capillary electrophoresis, digital PCR, next-generation sequencing, and microarray analysis. Before Thermo Fisher Scientific, he was at Nanostring Technologies running the Field Applications Specialist (FAS) team. He was also an Acting Assistant Professor at University of Washington, Department of Genome Sciences, investigating developmental genetics of Drosophila melanogaster. Webinar: Solutions for SARS-CoV-2 Strain Lineage Surveillance Webinar Abstract: The COVID19 pandemic continues to be a major epidemiological challenge across the globe. Part of the challenge, often seen with viruses, is that the nucleic acid genome quickly mutates, producing new strain lineages. These new lineages can spread more quickly, cause either milder or more severe symptoms, have decreased efficacy of therapeutic agents and can evade vaccine-induced immunity. Importantly, they can also evade detection by nucleic acid sequence-based diagnostic tests, complicating epidemiological monitoring. In this presentation, we illustrate strategies for monitoring changes in SARS-CoV-2 genome sequence. These strategies include: 1) orthogonal testing of aberrant PCR results that may arise due to strain differences, 2) positive identification of highly transmissible variants of concern (B.1.1.7 and B.1.351), 3) monitoring newly arising variants in Spike (S) gene sequences, and 4) monitoring new variants that appear anywhere within the SARS-CoV-2 genome. These surveillance tools facilitate tracking the spread of the virus at the population level, help assess the effectiveness of containment strategies, and contribute to the understanding evolution of this virus.
