Abstract excerpt
Accurately quantifying viral genetic diversity is essential for understanding pathogen evolution, transmission and emergence. However, standard approaches that map sequencing reads to a single linear reference genome introduce substantial reference bias, particularly for samples that are divergent and recombinant or belong to rare lineages. Pangenome variation graphs (PVGs) mitigate this issue by representing...
