Next-generation sequencing of HIV-1 RNA genomes: determination of error rates and minimizing artificial recombination.

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a valuable tool for the detection and quantification of HIV-1 variants in vivo. However, these technologies require detailed characterization and control of artificially induced errors to be applicable for accurate haplotype reconstruction. To investigate the occu...
