Here, we compared seven WGS protocols for SARS-CoV-2 using clinical samples from infected patients, benchmarking the performances of these protocols in several aspects including the sequencing read mappability, genome coverage (percentage and uniformity, minimum sequences required); sample storage condition; effects of viral input, sequencing depth, length and platform; sensitivity, reproducibility and precision of SNV calling and related assay factors (e.g., amount of viral input, sequencing depth and bioinformatics pipeline). ./cache/cord-258630-mvz2l3yj.txt ./txt/cord-258630-mvz2l3yj.txt
