De Novo Sequence Assembly of Viral Quasispecies

The rapid replication and high mutation rates of viruses like HIV lead to the formation of a community of highly similar genomes, referred to as a viral quasispecies, in an infected individual. Next-generation sequencing technologies enable researchers to sequence a complete quasispecies community w...
