The reference genomes chosen for aligning the input reads are NC001475 (NCBI accession number) for Dengue, NC009942 for West Nile, and a modified version of the HXB2 reference K03455 for HIV. The HIV reference genome is a subsequence of HXB2 (from 779bp to 9551bp) and is corrected for a frame-shift and a premature stop codon (available upon request). The target regions for analyses consist of the complete CDS of each reference genome, which corresponds to positions 95-10267 for Dengue, 97-10398 for West Nile and 12-8638 for HIV.
Read alignment to reference genome or assemblies are carried out using Mosaik v1.1.0013 (
http://bioinformatics.bc.edu/marthlab/Mosaik), with parameter setting “st = illumina, hs = 10, act = 15, bw = 29, mmp = 0.25 and minp = 0.25”.
