Effect of Output Granularity on SARS-CoV-2 Variant Abundance Estimates using Domestic Wastewater Sequencing

Monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 variants is crucial to efforts in combating the COVID-19 pandemic. Lineage level abundance estimates for SARS-CoV-2 can be obtained from viral material present in domestic wastewater. The abundance predictions can be made at different levels of granularity-individual lineage level(high granularity) or variant level(low...
