The effect of variant interference on de novo assembly for viral deep sequencing

C. J. Castro, R. L. Marine, E. Ramos, T. F. F. Ng

This study shows that variant interference in viral deep sequencing leads to fragmented assemblies, and demonstrates that this effect is consistent across assemblers and independent of genome features.

Comparison of Illumina MiSeq and the Ion Torrent PGM and S5 platforms for whole-genome sequencing of picornaviruses and caliciviruses

R. L. Marine, L. C. Magana, C. J. Castro, K. Zhao, A. Montmayeur, A. Schmidt, M. Diez-Valcarce, T. F. F. Ng, J. Vinje, C. C. Burns, W. A. Nix, P. A. Rota, M. S. Oberste

This study compares the Illumina MiSeq and Ion Torrent platforms for whole-genome sequencing of picornaviruses and caliciviruses, finding that Ion Torrent S5 outperforms PGM in data quality and cost, while MiSeq is more cost-effective for lower throughput runs.
