Genetic mutations that confer phenotypic changes to viral infectivity and pathogenicity or host immune response and disease outcomes play a vital role in SARS-CoV-2 research. Genetic variations range from single and multi-nucleotide polymorphisms to structural, chromosomal variations, such copy number variations and insertions/deletions. Identifying key genetic variations that play a role in host susceptibility and severity to SARS-COV-2 infection is critical for understanding disease pathogenesis, developing therapeutics, and shaping public health policies.
Sample DNA isolation
Genetic variation analysis requires high-quality genomic DNA. Our nucleic acid purification products are optimized to provide maximum yield, purity, and integrity from virtually any sample type. Select the appropriate product for your sample type and throughput needs.

TaqMan genetic variation assay selection
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are a common source of genetic variation within genomic DNA. They typically confer a single nucleotide difference within a specific gene locus, resulting in two alleles of the gene. We have expanded our predesigned SNP collection to ensure that we have an assay for every human or mouse genotyping study, including important host SNPs identified from the literature that influence susceptibility and severity of SARS-COV-2 infection. Our portfolio features over 17 million SNP assays, including 4 million HapMap SNPs, nearly 1 million coding SNPs, and 1.4 million common 1000 Genomes SNPs.

TaqMan SNP Genotyping Assay Sets are pre-defined collections of SNP Genotyping Assays derived from public databases and published articles. Of interest to SARS-CoV-2 therapeutic research, we offer a curated list of relevant host SNPs that influence the course of SARS-CoV-2 infection and clearance, as well as pharmacogenomics-relevant polymorphisms in the cytochrome p450 family of genes.
TaqMan Drug Metabolism (DME) Assays amplify and detect specific SNP alleles, multi-nucleotide polymorphisms (MNPs) and insertion/deletions (InDels) that influence how patients respond to drugs and their risk for side effects, thereby informing patient treatment and management. We offer a collection of 2,700 unique assays to detect polymorphisms in 221 genes that code for various drug metabolism enzymes and drug transporters.

Copy number variation has implications in phenotypic differences in both healthy and disease states. In particular, the dosage effects from variable copies of key immune response regulators could potentially play a role in disease severity and clearance of pathogen infection. Real-time PCR is the simplest method available to study copy number variation, and TaqMan Copy Number Assays feature easy ordering and tested workflow to enable quick results. In a duplexed reaction, the copy number assay detects the target gene or genomic sequence of interest, and the reference assay detects a sequence that is known to be present in two copies in the diploid genome.
