Real-Time Projections of SARS-CoV-2 B.1.1.7 Variant in a University Setting, Texas, USA.

ABSTRACT: We used the incidence of spike gene target failures identified during PCR testing to provide an early projection of the prevalence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 variant B.1.1.7 in a university setting in Texas, USA, before sequencing results were available. Findings from a more recent evaluation validated those early projections.
