Table 9 Comparison of subtyping results for avian influenza viruses from sample set 1, 3, 4 and 5, with subtypes generated by flui automated pipeline and by manually mapping to a GISAID reference gene set. [+] indicates that the sequencing reads passed the quality thresholds, and the generated subtype agrees with the known subtype. [—] indicates that sequencing reads did not pass the quality thresholds and hence a subtype could not be called. In Bold indicates disagreement between passed or failed reads in between both methods.
