Nanopore sequencing of virus genomes represented by segmented RNA (e.g. rotaviruses) requires the development of specific approaches. Due to the massive use of rotavirus vaccines, the relevance of monitoring the genetic diversity of circulating strains of group A rotaviruses (RVA) increased. The WHO recommended method of multiplex type-specific PCR does not allow genotyping of all clinically significant strains of RVA and identifying inter-strain differences within the genotype. We have described a new principle of amplification of RVA gene segments using six primers for reverse transcription and one universal primer for PCR for nanopore sequencing. The amplification of RVA genome was tested on clinical samples and three phylogenetically distant laboratory RVA strains, Wa (G1P[8]), DS-1 (G2P[4]) and 568 (G3P[3]). The developed protocol of sample preparation and nanopore sequencing allowed obtaining full-length sequences for gene segments of RVA, including the diagnostically significant segments 9 (VP7), 4 (VP4) and 6 (VP6) with high accuracy and coverage. The accuracy of sequencing of the rotavirus genome exceeded 99.5 %, and the genome coverage varied for different strains from 59.0 to 99.6 % (on average 86 %). The developed approach of nanopore sequencing of RVA genome could be a prospective tool for epidemiological studies and surveillance of rotavirus infection
