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.
