Amidst a pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, rapid genomic surveillance of the virus is much needed to support epidemiology monitoring of the pathogen. Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) has allowed scalable and high-throughput SARS-CoV-2 sequencing. However, a considerable coverage drop in certain genome regions has been observed in experiments using the ARTIC V3 Classic Protocol (ARTIC V…
