Single Molecule Sequencing Of M13 Virus Genome Without Amplification
Third generation sequencing is a direct measurement of DNA/RNA sequences at the single molecule level without amplification. In this study, we report sequencing of the genome of the M13 virus by a new single molecule sequencing platform. Our platform detects single molecule fluorescence by the total internal reflection microscope technique, with sequencing-by-synthesis chemistry. We sequenced the genome of M13 to a depth of 316x and 100% coverage. The consensus sequence accuracy is 100%. We demonstrated that single molecule sequencing has no significant GC bias.
