Distribution of MiSeq sequencing coverage. The depth of MiSeq sequencing coverage at each position across the sequenced amplicon (RT codons 90 to 234), after quality control filters were applied (n = 892 clinical samples), is shown. Red line, median coverage at each position; pink shading, interquartile range. Paired-end 2x250-bp sequencing kits were used. Arrows, positions covered by each read in the pair. The small drop in coverage observed around RT codon 170 reflects lower-quality bases at the end of read 2, which were discarded during data processing.
