Reported here is a coding-complete genome sequence of a SARS-CoV-2 variant obtained from raw wastewater samples at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville campus. This sequence provides insight into SARS-CoV-2 variants that circulate on large college campuses but remain mostly undetected.

We report two coding-complete genome sequences of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus 2 from field clinical samples obtained in 2021 (BA2021012A) and 2023 (ME20230008B-2) from the Philippines. BA2021012A (15,388 bp) is classified as a lineage L8C strain while ME20230008B-2 (15,513 bp) is a vaccine-like strain in lineage L7.

Unlabelled: Plant-infecting alphaflexiviruses cause moderate to severe diseases in economically important crops worldwide. In the present study, we identified nine putative novel alphaflexiviruses in nine plant species by exploring the publicly available plant transcriptome data in Sequence Read Archive (SRA) database. Coding-complete genomes of all the identified viruses were recovered and contained five to six open reading frames (ORFs).

Recovery of virus sequences from old samples provides an opportunity to study virus evolution and reconstruct historic virus-host interactions. Studies of old virus sequences have mainly relied on DNA or on RNA from fixed or frozen samples. The millions of specimens in natural history museums represent a potential treasure trove of old virus sequences, but it is not clear how well RNA survives in old samples.

Unlabelled: The evolution of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in the pandemic and post-pandemic periods has been characterized by rapid adaptive changes that confer immune escape and enhanced human-to-human transmissibility. Sequence change is additionally marked by an excess number of C→U transitions suggested as being due to host-mediated genome editing. To investigate how these influence the evolutionary trajectory of SARS-CoV-2, 2,000 high-quality, coding complete genome sequences of SARS-CoV-2 variants collected pre-September 2020 and from each subsequently appearing alpha, delta, BA.

Coding complete genomes of an iridovirus (194,403 nts) and two parvoviruses (4,689, 3,764 nts) were identified in social spiders (). The iridovirus and one of the parvovirus are most closely related to those from house crickets (), whereas the other is most closely related to one from a social spider.
