Genome SequencesWhole-Genome Sequence of Avian coronavirus from a 15-Year-Old Sample Confirms Evidence of GA08-like Strain Circulation 4 Years Prior to Its First Reported OutbreakHere, we report the complete genome sequence of an Avian coronavirus strain GA08-like isolate from a fecal sample from a broiler chicken collected in Georgia, USA, in 2004. The viral genome in this 15-year-old sample provides evidence for the circulation of the GA08-like strain at least 4 years before its first report in 2008.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of the Red-Pigmented Strain Serratia marcescens SCQ1 and Its Four Spontaneous Pigment MutantsSerratia marcescens SCQ1 is a red-pigmented bacterium isolated from silkworm larva with septicemia. Pigment-deficient spontaneous mutants arise when S. marcescens SCQ1 is incubated under relatively stable laboratory conditions for a long time. Here, we present the complete genome sequence of SCQ1...
Genome SequencesDraft Chromosome Sequences of a Clinical Isolate of the Free-Living Ameba Naegleria fowleriWe present the chromosome sequences of a Naegleria fowleri isolate from a human primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) case. The genome sequences were assembled from Illumina HiSeq and PacBio sequencing data and verified with the optical mapping data.
Omics Data SetsMetatranscriptomic Analysis Reveals SARS-CoV-2 Mutations in Wastewater of the Frankfurt Metropolitan Area in Southern GermanyWe report a sequencing analysis of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA in wastewater samples collected in the Frankfurt, Germany, metropolitan area. The majority of the detected mutations have been identified only in clinical genomes outside Frankfurt, indicating that the sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater can provide insights into emerging variants in a city.
Genome SequencesGenome Sequences of Three SARS-CoV-2 ORF7a Deletion Variants Obtained from Patients in Hong KongWe report the genome sequences of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) strains from the clinical samples of three coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients in Hong Kong. All the genome sequences showed a 370-nucleotide deletion resulting in the complete loss of ORF7a.
Genome SequencesCoding-Complete Genome Sequence of Murine Hepatitis Virus Strain 3 from BrazilMurine hepatitis virus (MHV) strain 3, one of the most important inducers of viral hepatitis, has been extensively studied as an organism to gain a better understanding of coronavirus biology and pathogenesis. Only one sequence is currently available.
Genome SequencesGenome Sequences of Five SARS-CoV-2 Variants from Mumbai, India, Obtained by Nanopore SequencingWe report here the genome sequences of SARS-CoV-2 variants from five COVID-19 patients in Mumbai, India. Viral genomic RNA was isolated from nasopharyngeal swabs and/or respiratory particles from the masks of the patients. Genomic variant analysis determined 8 to 22 mutations, and the variants belong to lineages previously associated with Indian variants.
Genome SequencesComplete Genome Sequence of Campylobacter coli Bacteriophage CAM-P21Bacteriophage CAM-P21, isolated from a beef mince sample in Japan using Campylobacter coli, has a 12,587-bp genome encoding 18 putative coding sequences with an average GC content of 31.19%.
Genome SequencesSequencing and Analysis of the Entire Genome of the Mycoparasitic Fungus Trichoderma afroharzianumTrichoderma sp. is a globally occurring fungal ascomycete. The genus Trichoderma belongs to the order of Hypocreales in the class of Sordariomycetes. Due to its importance as a mycoparasite and biocontrol fungus that antagonizes phytopathogenic and mycotoxin-producing fungi, the genome of the Trichoderma afroharzianum isolate BFE349 from the fungal...
Genome SequencesFull-Genome Sequence of Bacillus safensis Strain IDN1, Isolated from Commercially Available Natto in IndonesiaWe isolated a strain of Bacillus safensis, which we called IDN1, from natto sold in Indonesia. In order to gain insights into its genomic structure and understand its biology, we used the Oxford Nanopore MinION platform followed by PCR to verify the ends and determine its full circular genome sequence.
