The most important information about microorganisms might be their accurate genome sequence. Using current Next Generation Sequencing methods, sequencing data can be generated at an unprecedented pace. However, we still lack tools for the automated and accurate reference-based genotyping of viral sequencing reads. This paper presents our pipeline designed to reconstruct the dominant consensus genome of viral samples and analyze their within-host variability. We benchmarked our approach on numerous datasets and showed that the consensus genome of samples could be obtained reliably without further manual data curation. Our pipeline can be a valuable tool for fast identifying viral samples. The pipeline is publicly available on the projects github page (https://github.com/laczkol/QVG).
