Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Immunocompromised individuals with chronic norovirus (NoV) infection and elderly patients are hypothesized to be reservoirs where NoV might accumulate mutations and evolve into pandemic strains. Next generation sequencing (NGS) methods can monitor the intra-host diversity of NoV and its evolution but low abundance of viral RNA results in sub-optimal efficiency. In this study, we: 1) established a next...
