JAX COVID-19 Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS)
- GTR Test IDHelpEach Test is a specific, orderable test from a particular laboratory, and is assigned a unique GTR accession number. The format is GTR00000001.1, with a leading prefix 'GTR' followed by 8 digits, a period, then 1 or more digits representing the version. When a laboratory updates a registered test, a new version number is assigned.: GTR000593370.2

Clinical microbial testHelpIn the U.S., clinical tests must be performed under CLIA certification. When a lab uses the same methods for a test in both clinical and research settings, the test appears as two separate GTR records. for COVID-19

Comments about the test interpretation (e.g. clinical implication of test results)
Classification of a sample as a variant of interest (VOI), variant of concern (VOC), or variant of high consequence (VOHC) is based on the lineage classifications produced by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Due to the developing nature of the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak, these classifications are subject to change quickly and without notice. The classification presented on the report reflects the CDC classifications as of the report signature date. The Jackson Laboratory is not responsible for reporting or updating the CDC classifications beyond issuing the original report. Please see below for up to date information regarding the SARS-CoV-2 Variant Classification and Definitions.Testing strategy
HelpThe lab's suggested sequence of ordering tests based on clinical scenarios. It may include information on: reflex testing including each test component, and scenarios which prompt additional components of testing; whether lab communicates interim results or automatically proceeds to further analyses; and if any components are performed in another laboratory.Reflex test for Sars-CoV-2 positive specimens. 000 If you would like to begin sending samples to The Jackson Laboratory for COVID testing, please contact CGL_COVID_CS@jax.org.
