Shotgun WGS dataset from 9 SARS-CoV-2 representative sequences

This dataset comprises > 100 shotgun paired-end whole genome sequencing (WGS) data generated from nine representative SARS-CoV-2 sequences (IDs: LR991699,MW617687,MW763128,MW972888,OD913776,OM873778,OM898676,OU015160,OV754178) obtained from the COVID-19 data portal (https://www.covid19dataportal.org). The WGS datasets were created using InSilicoSeq (v. 2.0.1, https://github.com/HadrienG/InSilicoSeq). For each representative sequence, we generated datasets with three different error models (HiSeq, NovaSeq, MiSeq) and read lengths (125, 150, 300 bps respectively) using the --model parameter (HiSeq, NovaSeq, MiSeq, see: https://insilicoseq.readthedocs.io/en/latest/iss/model.html). The datasets cover a range of sequencing depths, including 5x-10x, 11x-100x, 101x-1000x, and greater than 1000x. Each FASTQ file name contains information on the representative sequence ID, the InSilicoSeq error model used, and the required coverage (i.e., ID.model.coverage.fastq.gz).
