    Estimating the proportions of SARS-CoV-2 genomes: All sequencing reads are aligned to Wuhan-Hu-1 (NC_045512.2) using bowtie2 (Langmead and Salzberg, 2012) with the following command for single-end reads, bowtie2 –all -f -x wuhCor1 -U, and for paired-end reads, bowtie2 –all -f -x wuhCor1 −1 −2.

    Applying the method to wastewater data from Crits-Christoph et al. (2021): Wastewater shotgun sequencing data from Crits-Christoph et al. (2021) was downloaded from NCBI BioProject ID PRJNA661613 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/?term=PRJNA661613).

    About SciScore

    SciScore is an automated tool that is designed to assist expert reviewers by finding and presenting formulaic information scattered throughout a paper in a standard, easy to digest format. SciScore checks for the presence and correctness of RRIDs (research resource identifiers), and for rigor criteria such as sex and investigator blinding. For details on the theoretical underpinning of rigor criteria and the tools shown here, including references cited, please follow this link.
