Abstract

In this study, we report the identification of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) JN.1 variant and the quasi-complete genomic sequencing of four clinical samples in Morocco. Nasopharyngeal swabs were obtained from four patients (one female, three males). The Illumina COVIDSeq Test was used for comprehensive genomic analysis.

Keywords: JN.1 variant; Morocco; SARS-CoV-2; nasopharyngeal swab; next-generation sequencing.
