Abstract

Scalable, inexpensive, and secure testing for SARS-CoV-2 infection is crucial for control of the novel coronavirus pandemic. Recently developed highly multiplexed sequencing assays (HMSAs) that rely on high-throughput sequencing can, in principle, meet these demands, and present promising alternatives to currently used RT-qPCR-based tests. However, reliable analysis, interpretation, and clinical use of HMSAs requires overcoming several computational, statistical and engineering challenges. Using recently acquired experimental data, we present and validate a computational workflow based on kallisto and bustools, that utilizes robust statistical methods and fast, memory efficient algorithms, to quickly, accurately and reliably process high-throughput sequencing data. We show that our workflow is effective at processing data from all recently proposed SARS-CoV-2 sequencing based diagnostic tests, and is generally applicable to any diagnostic HMSA.

We thank Páll Melsted for assistance with bustools. Author Contributions: A.S.B. and L.P. developed the kallisto|bustools approach to processing and analyzing HMSA data. A.S.B. adapted kallisto and bustools to process SwabSeq, LAMP-seq, covE-seq, and TRB-seq data. A.S.B. performed the analyses and collected results for the paper. N.L. developed the bcl2fastq + starcode processing approach with assistance from A.R.C., S.W.S., and J.S.B. J.G. assisted with technical aspects of the SwabSeq assay and in assessing the kallisto|bustools workflow results. L.L. created Fig. 1 and explored the sample index structures of LAMP-seq, TRB-seq, and SwabSeq. S.K., N.L.B., A.R.C., S.W.S. and J.S.B. developed SwabSeq. A.S.B., L.L., and L.P. wrote the manuscript.
