Rapid genomic characterization of SARS-CoV-2 viruses from clinical specimens using nanopore sequencing.The novel SARS-CoV-2 outbreak has swiftly spread worldwide.  To obtain virus whole-genome sequences directly from clinical specimens, we performed nanopore sequencing using a modified ARTIC protocol in a portable nanopore sequencer and validated a routine 8-h workflow and a 5-h rapid pipeline.  In conclusion, the genomic characteristics and origin of the virus can be quickly determined by nanopore sequencing following our workflows.
