Resum
Shortly after the beginning of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, many countries implemented sewage sentinel systems to monitor the circulation of the virus in the population. A fundamental part of these surveillance programs is the variant tracking through sequencing approaches to monitor and identify new variants or mutations that may be of importance. Two of the main sequencing platforms are Illumina and Oxford Nanopore Technologies. Here, we compare the performance of MiSeq (Illumina) and MinION (Oxford Nanopore Technologies), as well as two different data processing pipelines, to determine the effect they may have on the results. MiSeq showed higher sequencing coverage, lower error rate, and better capacity to detect and accurately estimate variant abundances than MinION R9.4.1 flow cell data. The use of different variant callers (LoFreq and iVar) and approaches to calculate the variant proportions had a remarkable impact on the results generated from wastewater samples. Freyja, coupled with iVar, may be more sensitive and accurate than LoFreq, especially with MinION data, but it comes at the cost of having a higher error rate. The analysis of MinION R10.4.1 flow cell data using Freyja combined with iVar narrows the gap with MiSeq performance in terms of read quality, accuracy, sensitivity, and number of detected mutations. Although MiSeq should still be considered as the standard method for SARS-CoV-2 variant tracking, MinION’s versatility and rapid turnaround time may represent a clear advantage during the ongoing pandemic.
