Genome-Wide Diversity of Zika Virus
Seabra, Sofia G; Libin, Pieter J. K.; Theys, Kristof; Zhukova, Anna; Potter, Barney I; Nebenzahl-guimaraes, Hanna; Gorbalenya, Alexander EThe Zika virus (ZIKV) disease caused a public health emergency of international concern that started in February 2016. The overall number of ZIKV-related cases increased until November 2016, after which it declined sharply. While the evaluation of the potential risk and impact of future arbovirus epidemics remains challenging, intensified surveillance efforts along with a scale-up of ZIKV whole-genome sequencin...

Quantifying next generation sequencing sample pre-processing bias in HIV-1 comp...
Vrancken, Bram; Trovão, Nídia Sequeira; Baele, Guy; Van Wijngaerden, Eric; Vandamme, Anne Mieke; van Laethem, Kristel; Lemey, PhilippeGenetic analyses play a central role in infectious disease research. Massively parallelized “mechanical cloning” and sequencing technologies were quickly adopted by HIV researchers in order to broaden the understanding of the clinical importance of minor drug-resistant variants. These efforts have, however, remained largely limited to small genomic regions. The growing need to monitor multiple genome regions fo...
