Figure Lengend Snippet: A) Genomic coverage and B) mean depth of coverage plots of high-quality RSV-A (75) samples and RSV-B samples (76). The boxplot values indicate the overall median percent coverage and depth: 98% and 53,434x for RSV-A, and 98% and 48,585x for RSV-B. C) Genomic coverage map for RSV-A; (Genomic coordinates: NS1 70-489, NS2 599-973, N 1111-2286, P 2318-3043, M 3226-3996, SH 4266-4460, G 4652-5617, F 5697-7421, M2-1 7640-8224, M2-2 8199-8465, L 8532-15029). D) Genomic coverage map for RSV-B; (Genomic coordinates: NS1 57-475, NS2 584-958, N 1097-2272, P 2305-3030, M 3154-3990, SH 4259-4456, G 4645-5578, F 5676-7400, M2-1 7627-8214, M2-2 8180-8452, L 8518-15018), showing all passing samples and primer pair positions. The dotted line indicates the median depth of coverage.
Article Snippet: Intact synthetic RNA transcripts of RSV-A and RSV-B (ZeptoMetrix: RSV-A Cat. No. NATRSVA-STQ, RSV-B Cat. No. NATFRC-ERC; ATCC: RSV-A Cat. No. VR-3418, RSV-B Cat. No. VR-1400) were run in duplicate as positive controls, while nuclease-free water served as a negative extraction control.
