Our new work - "A high-quality telomere-to-telomere LSDV genome assembly"

A 151 Kb #t2t #genome #assembly of the Lumpy skin disease #virus #LSDV Oman 2009 using high-accuracy long ONT reads. Illumina reads only made a tiny difference, so probably ONT only in future!

Areas most at risk of 'devastating' cattle disease incursion revealed Researchers have mapped the northern gateways where the cattle disease, lumpy skin disease, could first enter Australia, identifying Cape York Peninsula and Port Hedland as the highest-risk locations.

Using pangenome variation graphs to improve mutation detection in a large DNA virus Accurately quantifying viral genetic diversity is essential for understanding pathogen evolution, transmission, and emergence. However, standard approaches that map sequencing reads to a single linear...
