TL;DR: An algorithm for pooling subsamples based on the geometry of a hypercube that, at low prevalence, accurately identifies individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2 in a small number of tests and few rounds of testing is proposed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe 203 SARS-CoV-2 whole genome sequences analyzed from strains circulating in Rwanda from May 2020 to February 2021, and report a shift in variant distribution towards the emerging sub-lineage A.23.1.

A strategy for finding people infected with SARS-CoV-2: optimizing pooled testing at low prevalence
Leon Mutesa,Pacifique Ndishimye,Yvan Butera,Jacob Souopgui,Jacob Souopgui,Annette Uwineza,Robert Rutayisire,Emile Musoni,Nadine Rujeni,Thierry Nyatanyi,Edouard Ntagwabira,Muhammed Semakula,Clarisse Musanabaganwa,Daniel Nyamwasa,Maurice Ndashimye,Eva Ujeneza,Ivan Emile Mwikarago,Claude Mambo Muvunyi,Jean Baptiste Mazarati,Sabin Nsanzimana,Neil Turok,Neil Turok,Wilfred Ndifon +22 more
TL;DR: This work presents an approach to pooled testing, based on the geometry of a hypercube, which enables fast, cost-effective identification of infected people when the prevalence of the virus is low.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present 203 SARS-CoV-2 whole genome sequences analyzed from strains circulating in the country from May 2020 to February 2021, and report a shift in variant distribution towards the newly emerging sub-lineage A.23.1 that is currently dominating.
