ViralConsensus is orders of magnitude faster and more memory-efficient than existing methods. Further, unlike existing methods, ViralConsensus can pipe data directly from a read mapper via standard input and performs viral consensus calling on-the-fly, making it an ideal tool for viral sequencing pipelines. # Installation ViralConsensus is written in C++ and depends on htslib. You can simply download the latest release tarball (or clone the repo) and compile with `make`:
