Abstract excerpt
During the COVID-19 pandemic, next-generation sequencing (NGS) has been instrumental for public health laboratories in tracking severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) mutations and informing responses. Illumina systems and Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) have been primary tools for NGS, each presenting unique advantages. The hybrid assembly (HA) approach, integrating short- and long-read...
