CAIM: Coverage-based Analysis for Identification of Microbiome

CAIM improves microbial taxonomic profiling by using genome coverage instead of relative abundance, showing better performance in identifying species and predicting disease in cancer datasets.

Genomic Surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 Using Long-Range PCR Primers

This study introduces long-range PCR primers for SARS-CoV-2 sequencing to reduce amplicon dropout and coverage bias, improving genome quality and lineage accuracy.

Rapid Sequencing of Multiple RNA Viruses in their Native Form

This paper demonstrates a method using long-read nanopore sequencing to directly sequence native RNA viruses, achieving high accuracy and enabling real-time detection of complex viral transcriptomes.
