Capturing Structural Variants of Herpes Simplex Virus Genome in Full Length by Oxford Nanopore Sequencing

Abstract

With the advent of next-generation sequencing platforms, genome sequencing of viruses can be performed in a relatively shorter time frame in even the most austere conditions. Ultralong read sequencing platforms, such as Oxford Nanopore Technology (ONT), have made it possible to capture the full-length genome of DNA viruses as a single read.
