COMPARISON BETWEEN SANGER, ILLUMINA AND NANOPORE SEQUENCING EVIDENCING INTRA-HOST VARIATION OF FELINE LEUKEMIA VIRUS THAT INFECTS DOMESTIC CATS.

The paper compares Sanger, Illumina, and Oxford Nanopore sequencing methods for detecting intra-host variation of FeLV in cats, finding each method has distinct advantages and limitations.

Sarbecoviruses of British Horseshoe Bats; Sequence Variation and Epidemiology

The paper tests for sarbecoviruses in British horseshoe bats, finding widespread infection in R. hipposideros but not R. ferrumequinum, and no evidence of human-to-bat transmission.

Differential and defective expression of Koala Retrovirus indicate complexity of host and virus evolution

This study identifies defective KoRV variants in koalas previously thought to be KoRV-free, suggesting historical exposure and potential protective effects against infectious KoRV.
