This protocol describes the procedure for generating cDNA from SARS-CoV-2 viral nucleic acid extracts and subsequently producing amplicons tiling the viral genome sequencing. It uses the V3 nCov-2019 primers from the ARTIC network. This is followed by library construction using NEB Next Ultra II, which we found to save 6h of hands on time as compared with original protocol that use TrueSeq for library construction. It also describes the pooling of samples and quantitation, prior to sequencing on the Illumina Miseq and NextSeq. It is adapted from the nCov-2019 sequencing protocol from Quick and colleagues, which can be found here:
