Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Viruses have high mutation rates and generally exist as a mixture of variants in biological samples. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) approaches have surpassed Sanger for generating long viral sequences, yet how variants affect NGS de novo assembly remains largely unexplored. RESULTS: Our results from > 15,000 simulated experiments showed that presence of variants can turn an assembly of one genome...
