Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated de novo assemblers (Trinity, SPAdes, MEGAHIT) for analyzing high-throughput sequencing data from 23 apple samples to discover viral pathogens.
- MEGAHIT was found to be the most efficient assembler, successfully reconstructing near-complete genome sequences of several apple viruses, confirming their presence in apples from India for the first time.
- The findings underscore the importance of using multiple assembly methods to accurately reconstruct virus genomes in perennial fruit crops.
