Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of virus detection, and in particular to a set of primers for targeted enrichment of β-coronavirus, a targeted enrichment method for β-coronavirus, a method for constructing a β-coronavirus whole genome detection library, and a kit. Background Art

[0002] Compared with traditional Sanger sequencing, the second-generation sequencing technology can achieve whole genome sequencing of species more efficiently. With the maturity of sequencing tools and analysis algorithms, whole genome detection is becoming more and more widely used in viral genome sequencing. However, with the increasing demand for whole genome sequencing of viruses, its shortcomings are becoming more and more obvious. Due to the interference of human background and other microorganisms in the samples being tested, whole genome detection technology generally requires high-depth sequencing to overcome the problems of low coverage and sensitivity, which leads to a huge amount of data, thereby increasing the sequencing cost, especially for low-concentration and high-complexity samples, the sequencing difficulty will be greater.

[0003] At present, the commonly used detection methods mainly include metagenomic sequencing technology, probe hybridization technology and multiplex PCR technology. Metagenomic technology uses ultra-high depth sequencing to obtain a large amount of data and achieve coverage of the whole genome of the virus by sequencing data; probe hybridization technology uses targeted probes to capture large fragments of viral nucleic acids, thereby enriching viral gene sequences on a large scale and having strong coverage of the whole genome sequence of the virus. Multiplex PCR technology uses multiple primers to perform multiple amplification of viral genes during the genome library construction process, thereby enriching the target sequence of the virus, with the characteristics of low cost, high sensitivity and convenient process. However, metagenomic sequencing technology has the disadvantages of high data volume requirements, high sequencing depth requirements and serious interference from other background pathogens. Probe hybridization technology has the disadvantages of complex probe design process, high production cost, cumbersome experimental operation and long experimental cycle. In addition, this technology is prone to hybridization failure when facing low-concentration samples. Multiplex PCR technology has the disadvantages of high primer preference and uneven distribution of detected sequences. Summary of the invention
