Adaptation of Oxford Nanopore technology for hepatitis C whole genome sequencing and identification of within-host viral variants

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Hepatitis C (HCV) and many other RNA viruses exist as rapidly mutating quasi-species populations in a single infected host. High throughput characterization of full genome, within-host variants is still not possible despite advances in next generation sequencing. This limitation constrains viral genomic studies that depend on accurate identification of hemi-genome or whole genome, within-host...
