Abstract
We present here the complete genome sequences of Zika virus strains isolated from aborted fetal tissue (brain and placenta) and amniotic fluid of a microcephaly patient in Thailand in 2017. The virus genomes that were sequenced have an average length of 10,807 nucleotides.
Highlights
We present here the complete genome sequences of Zika virus strains isolated from aborted fetal tissue and amniotic fluid of a microcephaly patient in Thailand in 2017
Three sequencing platforms were used for the different Zika virus (ZIKV) isolates
The Ion Torrent platform was used for the brain isolate, and the Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT), Ion Torrent, and Illumina platforms were used for the amniotic fluid and placenta isolates
Summary
We present here the complete genome sequences of Zika virus strains isolated from aborted fetal tissue (brain and placenta) and amniotic fluid of a microcephaly patient in Thailand in 2017. Three sequencing platforms were used for the different ZIKV isolates. The Ion Torrent platform was used for the brain isolate, and the Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT), Ion Torrent, and Illumina platforms were used for the amniotic fluid and placenta isolates. The Ion Torrent library was constructed using an Ion Xpress Plus fragment library kit (Life Technologies, USA), following the manufacturer’s instructions.
