An ONT sequencing framework for hantavirus genome assembly, variant analysis, and defective viral genome characterization from whole-segment amplicons
Orthohantaviruses are zoonotic, tri-segmented negative-sense RNA viruses of rodents and other small mammals that can cause severe human disease. Whole genome sequencing remains difficult because of low viral loads, high sequence diversity, and an inherent instability of the viral L segment. Current tiled amplicon and hybrid-capture approaches do not capture the heterogeneity of virus populations,…
