Nanopore sequencing of SARS-CoV-2: Comparison of short and long PCR-tiling amplicon protocols
Surveillance of the SARS-CoV-2 variants including the quickly spreading mutants by rapid and near real-time sequencing of the viral genome provides an important tool for effective health policy decision making in the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Here we evaluated PCR-tiling of short (~400-bp) and long...
