Mutations in emerging variant of concern lineages disrupt genomic sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 clinical specimens

Mutations in emerging severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) lineages can interfere with laboratory methods used to generate viral genome sequences for public health surveillance. We identified 20 mutations that are widespread in variant of concern lineages and affect widely us...
