Report of SARS-CoV-2 JN.1 variant in Morocco
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.
