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

ABSTRACT Genome sequencing and assembly of viral genomes within the Herpesviridae family, particularly herpes simplex virus (HSV), have been challenging due to the large size (~154 Kb), high GC content (68%), and nucleotide variations arising during replication. Oxford Nanopore Technology (ONT) has...
