“…In particular, with respect to RNA viruses, this further contributes to the associated challenge, requiring a Family specific priming PCR approach. Amplicon based sequencing approaches, (particularly tiling or “jackhammer”) have been widely applied for the detection of RNA viruses with varying levels of success (Marston et al, 2013 ; Cruz et al, 2016 ; Cuevas et al, 2016 ; Hanke et al, 2016 ; Imamura et al, 2016b ; Boonchan et al, 2017 ; Johnson et al, 2017 ; Parra et al, 2017 ; Quick et al, 2017 ; Hata et al, 2018 ; Lun et al, 2018 ; Suffredini et al, 2018 ; Wang et al, 2018 ; Cinek et al, 2019 ; Di et al, 2019 ; Fumian et al, 2019 ; Gradel et al, 2019 ; Eden et al, 2020 ; Fauver et al, 2020 ; Lu et al, 2020 ; Mancini et al, 2020 ). Tiling or “jackhammer” approaches involve designing a series of primers that generate short products across the whole target genome and can be Family or genus specific.…”
