Abstract
Sapoviruses, members of the family Caliciviridae, are genetically highly diverse. We report here the first complete genome sequence of a genogroup V genotype 2 sapovirus strain, NGY-1, detected from fecal samples of a suspected foodborne gastroenteritis outbreak, determined using a metagenomic sequencing approach.

Summary
Sapoviruses, members of the family Caliciviridae, are genetically highly diverse. We report here the first complete genome sequence of a genogroup V genotype 2 sapovirus strain, NGY-1, detected from fecal samples of a suspected foodborne gastroenteritis outbreak, determined using a metagenomic sequencing approach. Sapovirus (SaV) is a pathogen causing gastroenteritis in humans. Based on their complete capsid-encoding region nucleotide sequence, SaV strains detected from humans have recently subdivided into multiple genogroups and genotypes (i.e., GI.[1-7], GII.[1-7], GIV.[1], and GV.1) (1). We recently identified a sapovirus strain, Hu/SaV/GV/NGY-1/2012/JP (SaV NGY-1), from fecal samples of a suspected foodborne gastroenteritis outbreak that occurred in Aichi Prefecture, Japan, on 3 April 2012, using a metagenomic sequencing approach.
