This SOP describes the procedure for generating cDNA from SARS-CoV-2 viral nucleic acid extracts and subsequently producing 400nt amplicons tiling the viral genome using V3 nCov-2019 primers (ARTIC). This is followed by library construction, equivolume pooling of samples and quantitation, prior to sequencing on the Illumina NovaSeq. It offers the benefit of higher density sample processing in 384 format, whilst matching the data quality achieved in 96 format described in the original protocol:https://www.protocols.io/view/covid-19-artic-v3-illumina-library-construction-an-bgxjjxknBoth the above protocols were adapted from the nCov-2019 sequencing protocol: https://www.protocols.io/view/ncov-2019-sequencing-protocol-bbmuik6w
