SARS-CoV-2 positive specimens were sequenced using metagenomic next-generation sequencing40 (link), Swift Biosciences SNAP panel41 , and/or Illumina COVIDSeq following the manufacturer’s protocol. Sequencing reads were analyzed and visualized using cutadapt 1.9, bwa version 0.7.17, Picard 2.18.15, VarScan 2.3, Annovar 2018Apr16 version for the Longitudinal Analysis of Viral Alleles (LAVA; available at https://github.com/michellejlin/lava) pipeline with references MZ433225.1 for VOC gamma, NC_045512.2 for VOC delta, and OL965129.1 for VOC omicron42 . Sequencing reads are available in NCBI BioProject PRJNA803552 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/?term=PRJNA803552).
