Re-Assembly and Analysis of an Ancient Variola Virus Genome.

Viruses - 8 Sept 2017

Smithson Chad, Imbery Jacob, Upton Chris

Abstract excerpt

We report a major improvement to the assembly of published short read sequencing data from an ancient variola virus (VARV) genome by the removal of contig-capping sequencing tags and manual searches for gap-spanning reads. The new assembly, together with camelpox and taterapox genomes, permitted new dates to be calculated for the last common ancestor of all VARV genomes. The analysis of recently sequenced...
