An economical Nanopore sequencing assay for human papillomavirus (HPV) genotyping

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Human papillomavirus (HPV) testing has been employed by several European countries to augment cytology-based cervical screening programs. A number of research groups have demonstrated potential utility of next-generation sequencing (NGS) for HPV genotyping, with comparable performance and broader detection spectrum than current gold standards. Nevertheless, most of these NGS platforms may not be the...
