Article Synopsis
  • Monkeypox virus (MPXV) causes mpox, a pox-like disease, and since May 2022, there's been a notable outbreak with increased human-to-human transmission outside its usual regions.
  • Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is essential for tracking MPXV evolution, but existing methods face challenges related to mutations and varied viral clades.
  • A new isothermal WGS method using Phi29 DNA polymerase achieves high genome coverage (88% to 100%) from both DNA and clinical samples and is effective for monitoring MPXV outbreaks in standard laboratories.
