Rapid viral sequencing for genomic surveillance of mpox using metagenomic or targeted approaches

Overview

Mpox is a viral zoonotic disease endemic to West and Central African countries but is also affecting non-endemic countries globally; however, there is limited information about the circulating virus. With Oxford Nanopore Technologies, perform either metagenomic sequencing to generate de novo virus reference genome assemblies or targeted viral genome sequencing to investigate genomic epidemiological links.

This end-to-end workflow provides guidance for both metagenomic and targeted viral genome sequencing to deliver rapid and actionable results.

In this workflow, you will:

• Find out how nanopore technology enhances viral genome sequencing to provide insight data
• Discover our best practice sequencing workflow in detail for both metagenomic and targeted sequencing, starting from recommended extraction methods, through to primary analysis
• Learn about our recommended sequencing kits and devices
