Abstract:
The pandemic spread of African swine fever virus (ASFV) genotype II (GTII) has led to a global crisis. Since the circulating strains are almost identical, time and money have been mis-invested in whole-genome sequencing the last years. New methods, harmonised protocols for sample selection, sequencing, and bioinformatics are therefore urgently needed.

The first human genome sequencing project cost $2.7 billion and was declared complete in 2003, after 15 years of international cooperation and collaboration between several research teams and funding agencies. Today, with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, the cost and time of sequencing a human genome have dropped over 100 fold.

DNA sequencing is a fundamental technique that is routinely used in the biological sciences. This method can be applied to a range of questions at different scales - from the sequencing of a cloned DNA fragment or the study of a mutation in a gene up to whole-genome sequencing. However, despite the widespread use of sequencing today, it was not until 1977 that Fredrick Sanger and his collaborators developed the chain-termination method to decode DNA sequences. It relies on the separation of a...
