An amplicon-based sequencing framework for accurately measuring intrahost virus diversity using PrimalSeq and iVar
How viruses evolve within hosts can dictate infection outcomes; however, reconstructing this
process is challenging. We evaluate our multiplexed amplicon approach, PrimalSeq, to …

Predicting virus emergence amid evolutionary noise
The study of virus disease emergence, whether it can be predicted and how it might be
prevented, has become a major research topic in biomedicine. Here we show that efforts to …
