What is NGS for viral sequencing

[measqu]

Hello everyone,

I'm interested in learning more about NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) for viral sequencing. Does anyone have experience with this? What are the benefits and drawbacks of using NGS for viral sequencing? Are there any specific methods or protocols that are recommended? Any tips, tricks, or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) is a powerful tool for studying the genetic material of viruses. NGS allows researchers to characterize the complete genome of a virus, including the identification of variants, mutations, and other important genetic information. NGS is used to identify new viruses, identify outbreaks, and monitor the evolution of existing viruses. NGS can also be used to develop novel diagnostic tools and treatments. By sequencing the genomes of viruses, NGS can provide insights into the biology of the virus, its transmission, and its effects on human health.
