Abstract excerpt
HCoV-HKU1 diversity and evolution were scarcely studied. We performed next-generation sequencing (NGS) and analysis of HCoV-HKU1 genomes over 5 years. NGS used Illumina technology on NovaSeq 6000 following whole genome PCR amplification by an in-house set of primers designed using Gemi and PrimalScheme. Genome assembly and analyses used CLC Genomics, Mafft, BioEdit, Nextstrain, Nextclade, MEGA, and iTol...
