Genome sequences of 10 SARS-CoV-2 viral strains obtained by nanopore sequencing of nasopharyngeal swabs in Malta


The genome sequences of 10 severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) strains from Sliema, Malta, were obtained by Nanopore sequencing using the amplicon sequencing approach developed by the Artic Network. The assembled genomes were analyzed with Pangolin software and assigned to the B.1 lineage, which is widely circulating in Europe.
