Abstract excerpt
Viral isolates consist of complex mixtures of many variants that are termed mutant spectra, distributions, clouds or swarms. They include information on virus behavior that is not captured by consensus sequences. Here, we describe experimental procedures, a bioinformatics pipeline, and calculations to characterize the mutant spectrum of RNA viruses. The data are obtained through the high-resolution MiSeq Illumina...
