Zymo Research Releases Open-Source Bioinformatics Pipeline for SARS-CoV-2 Variant Detection in Wastewater

Early Release of the VirSieve Bioinformatics Pipeline Will Promote Collaboration in Environmental SARS-CoV-2 Research

IRVINE, Calif., May 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Zymo Research has released the VirSieve Bioinformatics Pipeline source code to the environmental microbiology community to promote global collaboration and support for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 variants in wastewater. VirSieve is an automated computational pipeline that analyzes sequencing reads from the SARS-CoV-2 virus in wastewater samples to better understand viral variants present in monitored communities. By rating the confidence interval in observed viral mutations, the software has the potential to significantly increase the accuracy of analyzing any changes in the viral genetic material.

Zymo Research releases the VirSieve™ Open-Source Bioinformatics Pipeline source code to the environmental microbiology community to promote global collaboration and support for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 variants in wastewater.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, while the deployment of vaccines has had a tremendous positive impact on curbing the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic within the USA, new viral strains are still emerging. Some of these strains, e.g., B.1.1.7, are classified as “variants of concern” due to evidence of increased spread, pathogenicity, or vaccine evasion. Wastewater Next-Gen Sequencing is emerging as the most viable solution for near real-time community surveillance.

Viral sequencing from wastewater is difficult due to fragmentation and degradation of the viral RNA, often resulting in sequencing errors that ultimately manifest as false mutations. VirSieve can identify these false variants and mark them as being low or no confidence, allowing researchers to filter mutations with a higher degree of support. Zymo Research also provides DNA/RNA Shield, a reagent that safeguards viral RNA from further degradation after inactivation of any virus for safe, ambient temperature collection and transportation of wastewater samples.

“Zymo Research has previously developed public software tools like the Zymo Research Transmit Program, an open-source client for submitting COVID-19 test results through the CalREDIE public health reporting system,” said Dr. Michael Weinstein, Director of Laboratory Information Systems, and Project Lead on the VirSieve Pipeline project at Zymo Research. “VirSieve is part of Zymo Research’s ongoing effort to provide maximum support to pandemic response efforts around the globe. We feel VirSieve has the potential to be used not only for tracking variant strains of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in wastewater but other viruses as well, for future public health efforts.”

“Getting accurate variants from clinical samples or sewage is key to proper placement of a viral strain in the context of all other viral variants and informing pathogen tracking efforts,” said Dr. Christopher Mason, who is a paid speaker for Zymo Research and is the co-director of the WorldQuant Institute for Quantitative Prediction and a professor of physiology and biophysics at Weill Cornell Medicine.

الصين تضع نصب عينيها مهمة إنتاج الرقائق المتقدم

بكين, 11 مايو 2021 / بي آر نيوزواير / – تقرير إخباري صادر عن China.org.cn عن الصين التي تضع نصب عينيها مهمة إنتاج الرقائق المتقدم.

تسرع صناعة أشباه الموصلات في الصين تطويرها للرقائق المتقدمة، حيث من المقرر أن تدخل عملية الإنتاج الضخم لرقائق (28 نانومتر) محلية الصنع هذا العام، على أن تحذو عملية تصنيع رقائق (14 نانومتر) حذوها العام المقبل، بحسب مصادر متعددة.

وفي الصناعة، فإن رقائق (28 نانومتر) تعد بمثابة الخط الفاصل بين تصنيع الدوائر المتكاملة ذات النطاق المنخفض إلى المتوسط والمتوسط إلى الأعلى.

An exhibition booth of China's Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC) was seen at the China International Semiconductor Exhibition 2020 in Shanghai, Oct. 14, 2020.

وإلى جانب رقائق وحدات المعالجة المركزية، ووحدات معالجة الرسومات والذكاء الاصطناعي، فإن المنتجات الصناعية السائدة الأخرى مثل أجهزة التلفاز ومكيفات الهواء والسيارات والقطارات فائقة السرعة والأقمار الصناعية والروبوتات الصناعية والمصاعد والطائرات المسيرة تعد أكثر التطبيقات شيوعا لاستخدامات تقنية رقائق (28 نانومتر).

وقال تنغ ران، رئيس مركز بحوث صناعة الدوائر المتكاملة بمؤسسة (CCID) للخدمات الاستشارية التابعة لمركز بحوث يتبع لوزارة الصناعة وتكنولوجيا المعلومات الصينية “إن الصين بحاجة ماسة للتحرك نحو إنتاج الرقائق المتوسطة إلى العالية، والقدرة على إنتاج رقائق 28 نانومتر يعني أنها تستطيع تلبية معظم الطلب على الرقائق دون الاعتماد على بلدان أخرى”.

وبحسب تنغ، فإنه مع نضوج عملية تصنيع رقائق (14 نانومتر) العام المقبل، ستنضم (SMIC) إلى صفوف “أنتل” و”TSMC” و”سامسونغ” كأول شركة صينية تحصل على تقنية (14 نانومتر) وتضعها قيد الإنتاج الضخم.

وقال تنغ “عمليات الشركة الصينية لإنتاج رقائق 14 نانومتر ستطبق في مجالات تقنية اتصالات الجيل الخامس والحوسبة الفائقة، ويمكنها تلبية الطلب إلى حد كبير”.

ويأتي اختراق الصين في مجال صناعة الرقائق المتقدمة في وقت تواجه فيه شركة (SMIC) وشركات التكنولوجيا الصينية الأخرى قيودا تجارية كبيرة تفرضها الولايات المتحدة. ففي العام الماضي، فاق التقدم في تقنيات تصنيع الرقائق الصينية التوقعات محليا مع اختراقات في موجات المليمتر لشبكة اتصالات الجيل الخامس والإخراج الناجح لشريحة معالج FinFET N+1 لشركة الصين الدولية لأشباه الموصلات.

وأوضح تنغ أن صناعة الدوائر المتكاملة الصينية تتحول من تنمية “عالية السرعة” إلى أخرى “عالية الجودة”.

وقال تيان يو لونغ، كبير المهندسين والمتحدث باسم وزارة الصناعة وتكنولوجيا المعلومات الصينية، خلال مؤتمر صحفي عقد في الأول من مارس الماضي، إنه وفقا لتقديرات صناعة أشباه الموصلات الصينية، فقد سجلت مبيعات الدوائر المتكاملة الصينية 884.8 مليار يوان في عام 2020، وهو ما يمثل متوسط معدل نمو سنوي قدره 20%، وثلاثة أضعاف معدل نمو صناعة الدوائر المتكاملة العالمية خلال نفس الفترة.

وأضاف أن صناعة الدوائر المتكاملة في الصين حققت نموا مثيرا وثابتا خلال فترة الخطة الخمسية الثالثة عشرة (2016-2020)، مع تحسينات كبيرة في تقنيات التصنيع والتغليف ومواد المعدات الرئيسية.

مشيرا إلى نمو الشركات بشكل مطرد، وظهور عدد منها كمؤسسات رائدة عالميا في التصميم والتصنيع والتعبئة والاختبار وغيرها من روابط السلسلة الصناعية.

وبينما تواصل إحراز التقدم على جبهات متعددة، أقر تنغ أن الصين لا تزال في دور “اللحاق بالركب” عندما يتعلق الأمر بتطوير الرقائق الأكثر تقدما. ودعا إلى مزيد من التعاون الدولي كون صناعة الدوائر المتكاملة صناعة عالمية ولا ينبغي عزل أي بلد من سلسلة الصناعة.

Seegene’s Germany subsidiary supports the back-to-school initiative with its COVID-19 tests

  • SEEGENE BACKS GERMANY IN ITS EFFORT TO RETURN TO NORMALCY
  • GERMAN SUBSIDIARY TO SUPPLY COVID-19 DIAGNOSTIC TESTS ENOUGH TO TEST 734,000 PUPILS

SEOUL, South Korea, May 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Seegene Inc. (KQ 096530), a leading molecular diagnostics firm said its German subsidiary, Seegene Germany GmbH is taking part in the government’s Back-to-School program called the “Lolli-Test,” a starting point in returning our daily lives back to normalcy. Under the program, Seegene Germany GmbH will be supplying COVID-19 diagnostic tests to laboratories, in business with the federal government, worth up to 19.3 million Euros

Logo

The deal states that Seegene Germany GmbH contribute COVID-19 diagnostic tests to laboratories weekly for nine weeks starting May until before the start of the summer break. The diagnostic tests will then be sent to some 400 laboratories in the North Rhine-Westphalia region to test over 734,000 pupils at 3,764 elementary and special schools.

Three of Seegene’s COVID-19 diagnostic, the ‘AllplexTM SARS-CoV-2 Master Assay1‘ ‘AllplexTM SARS-CoV-2/FluA/FluB/RSV Assay2‘ and ‘AllplexTM SARS-CoV-2 Assay3‘ will be used for the program.

The ‘Allplex™ SARS-CoV-2 Master Assay’ can detect a total of 10 targets including four coronavirus genes (E gene, RdRP gene, N gene and S gene) as well as five defined virus variants. Those variants include B.1.1.7, B.1.351, P.1, and B1.1.207. With UK variant still being reported as the most dominant of COVID-19 variant, it is largely anticipated that the variant diagnostic test will be mainly used for the program.

The ‘Allplex™ SARS-CoV-2 Master Assay,’ can also be used in conjunction with ‘Allplex™ RV Essential Assay’ a one-step assay for screening a total of 17 target causative viruses for respiratory infections. It’s an ideal way of screening coronavirus genes as the pandemic continues to rage after being coupled with a number of contagious variants. The variant diagnostic test has acquired CE-IVD mark in March and was first exported to European countries and Chile last month.

Other diagnostic tests, the ‘Allplex™ SARS-CoV-2/FluA/FluB/RSV Assay’ is a real-time PCR assay that can simultaneously detect and differentiate eight target genes, including Flu A, Flu B, RSV A/B and three different target genes of COVID-19 (S gene, RdRP gene and N gene). The multiplex assay can be used to differentiate individuals with common flu and COVID-19, both of which show identical symptoms fever and cough.

Seegene’s ‘AllplexTM SARS-CoV-2 Assay’ can detect a total of five targets including four coronavirus genes (E gene, RdRP gene, N gene and S gene) and an exogenous control (entire process control in a single reaction tube, allowing accurate results and maximize throughput for high volume testing. Such diagnostic test is critical in precisely detecting the existence of coronavirus, especially as new variants continue to emerge worldwide.

Ho Yi, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer of Seegene said through the program, it hopes to fully back German government’s push to return to normalcy starting with schools. He added that Germany’s project become a model for other economies around the world and Seegene will help governments get back to pre-COVID-19 life.
