Furthermore, reagents for only 24 samples were available, as the order of Illumina TruSeq DNA Library preparation kit (x 96 sample libraries), which was placed in February and was enough to produce 480 genomes, had not arrived, due to the restrictions on international flights. The Nextera Flex library preparation kit was suggested by their technical team as a potentially better and quicker solution to produce SARS-CoV-2 genomes, which we found to be true. The Nextera Flex DNA library preparation kit was also evaluated, and we found it saved up to nine hours of hands-on time, when compared with the original ARTIC protocol that uses TruSeq. All three library preparation methods produced high-quality genomes. ./cache/cord-346145-hnfeauow.txt ./txt/cord-346145-hnfeauow.txt
