Use of amplicon melt temperature to detect SARS-CoV-2 Lineage B.1.1.7 variant through the G28048T mutation in the ORF 8 gene

A new variant of SARS-CoV-2 (Lineage B.1.1.7) was identified in the UK in December 2020 which was associated with higher transmissibility of COVID-19. The AusDiagnostics SARS-CoV-2, Influenza and RSV 8-well assay is used at sixteen UK hospitals and detects part of the ORF8 gene (together with a segm...
