Genomic evolution patterns of influenza A/H1N1 in Iraqi patients revealed by nanopore sequencing.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Influenza viruses have high mutation rates and cause serious health problems worldwide. In our population, no study has examined mutations and their variation relative to the wild-type and vaccine strains. OBJECTIVE: Study focused on whole-genome sequencing to characterize the virus, construct phylogenetic trees, analyze mutations, and assess nucleotide diversity. STUDY DESIGN: Nasal swabs were...
