Third generation high-throughput sequencing technologies can accurately reconstruct full-length HCMV genomes including their low-complexity and highly repetitive regions. Full-length HCMV genomes could prove crucial in understanding the genetic determinants and viral evolution underpinning drug resistance, virulence and pathogenesis.
