Abstract
None:
The large amount of genetic diversity in human metapneumovirus makes reference-based alignments difficult. We created a new module for the Iterative Refinement Meta-Assembler (IRMA) that performs alignment and consensus sequence generation without requiring subtyping and can handle duplications in the glycoprotein. This module increases the feasibility of genomic surveillance.
