Abstract excerpt
As a result of a high rate of mutations and recombination events, an RNA-virus exists as a heterogeneous "swarm" of mutant variants. The long read length offered by single-molecule sequencing technologies allows each mutant variant to be sequenced in a single pass. However, high error rate limits the ability to reconstruct heterogeneous viral population composed of rare, related mutant variants. In this article,...
