MORGANTOWN â West Virginia University scientists knew it was coming.
When health officials confirmed the first three cases of a COVID-19 variant in West Virginia late Friday, Feb. 19, they were not surprised. In fact, WVU researchers had, in recent weeks, already formed a partnership with colleagues at Marshall University and the Department of Health and Human Resources to identify SARS-CoV-2 variants.
Utilizing an automated system and whole genome sequencing, the team â led by Peter Stoilov, Peter Perrotta and Ryan Percifield at WVU and Jim Denvir and Don Primerano at Marshall â is set to analyze hundreds of samples per week from across the state.
