Benchmarking different approaches for Norovirus genome assembly in metagenome samples
Abstract Background Genome assembly of viruses with high mutation rates, such as Norovirus and other RNA viruses, or from metagenome samples, poses a challenge for the scientific community due to the coexistence of several viral quasispecies and strains. Furthermore, there is no standard method for...
