The paper reprocesses SARS-CoV-2 genomic data to correct systematic errors in phylogenies using a novel assembly tool, resulting in a cleaner global tree of 4.47 million samples.

This paper introduces a pan-genotypic probe-based enrichment method to enhance HBV sequencing efficiency, showing significant increases in HBV read counts and viral load correlation.

This paper describes a method to generate full-length HBV genome data using isothermal amplification and sequencing with Nanopore and Illumina, achieving high consensus accuracy and resolving intra-sample variants.

This study uses Nanopore metagenomic sequencing to directly sequence the full-length HMPV genome from a UK patient, identifying a unique genetic group and demonstrating the utility of Nanopore for clinical diagnosis.

The paper assesses cross-talk in multiplex Nanopore MinION sequencing and finds 0.056% of reads are misassigned due to chimeric reads.
