What's in a strain? Viral metagenomics identifies genetic variation and contaminating circoviruses in laboratory isolates of pigeon paramyxovirus type 1.

used next generation sequencing on random amplified viral nucleic acids to determine the genome sequence of 11 pigeon paramyxovirus type 1 (PPMV-1) isolates from Belgium (period 1998-2011). The PPMV-1 ...

s transmitted data on a random sample (N=976) of type 1 diabetic patients aged 0-18 years (representing about one third of all Belgian patients) to the Scientific Institute of Public Health (IPH) using an on-line ...

DNase SISPA-next generation sequencing confirms Schmallenberg virus in Belgian field samples and identifies genetic variation in Europe.

protocols for this novel virus we confirmed its presence in RT-qPCR positive field samples using DN ase SISPA-next generation sequencing (NGS), a virus discovery method based on random amplification and next ...
