  • To evaluate the impact of Nanopore flow cell type (R10 vs. R9.4) on sequencing accuracy and coverage.
  • To provide essential data for the routine application of Nanopore sequencing in clinical and public health settings.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized an overlapping amplicon-based approach for Usutu virus whole genome sequencing.
  • Employed Nanopore sequencing with R10 flow cells.
  • Compared Nanopore sequencing data with Illumina sequencing data to assess read coverage requirements.

Main Results:

  • Established a method to determine the necessary read coverage for Nanopore sequencing of Usutu virus.
  • Provided comparative data between Nanopore R10 flow cells and Illumina sequencing for Usutu virus WGS.
  • Highlighted the importance of understanding platform-specific error rates and coverage for reliable viral surveillance.

Conclusions:

  • The described method facilitates the determination of adequate read coverage for Nanopore WGS of Usutu virus.
  • Comparative analysis with Illumina sequencing provides a benchmark for Nanopore platform performance.
  • Accurate genomic data is crucial for effective public health surveillance and outbreak response.
