A universal primer-independent next-generation sequencing approach for investigations of norovirus outbreaks and novel variants

Abstract Norovirus (NoV) is the most common cause of non-bacterial gastroenteritis and is a major agent associated with outbreaks of gastroenteritis. Conventional molecular genotyping analysis of NoV, used for the identification of transmission routes, relies on standard typing methods (STM) by Sang...
