  • Sars-CoV-2 genomic surveillance using rapid point of care Covid-19 antigen tests at public test sites in California

    Open AccessEric M Foote, Ellen L Bouchard et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2025

    California’s SARS-CoV-2 genomic surveillance program (California COVIDNet) developed whole genomic sequencing (WGS) capability from positive COVID-19 antigen tests to maintain genomic surveillance from public test sites. Over 4-months, COVIDNet sourced specimens from positive COVID-19 antigen tests from 142 California public test sites in 43 counties. Successful WGS was defined as at least 83% reference coverage with a minimum 20x genomic read de…

  • Implementation of California Covidnet – a multi-sector collaboration for statewide Sars-CoV-2 genomic surveillance

    Open AccessDebra Wadford, Debra A Wadford et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    Introduction: The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic represented a formidable scientific and technological challenge to public health due to its rapid spread and evolution. To meet these challenges and to characterize the virus over time, the State of California established the California SARS-CoV-2 Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) Initiative, or "California COVIDNet". This initiative constituted an unprecedented multi-sector collaborative effort to achieve large-…
