The paper identifies two new bat coronavirus subgenera and potential species from Neotropical bats using metatranscriptomic sequencing and phylogenetic analysis.

The paper detects deltacoronaviruses in seabirds from Brazil, identifies full and draft genomes, and finds evidence of long-term viral maintenance through reinfection and immune escape mutations.

The paper detects deltacoronaviruses in environmental fecal samples from seabirds in the Saint Peter and Saint Paul Archipelago using RT-PCR and metatranscriptomics.

The paper reports the whole-genome analysis of an HPAIV H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b virus found in a kelp gull in Antarctica, showing its genetic similarity to strains in South American pinnipeds and seabirds.

The paper detects a deltacoronavirus in kelp gull fecal samples from Antarctica and sequences its full genome, revealing its classification and potential cross-species transmission.

This study tracks the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant across Brazil using genomic data, identifying three major transmission clusters and their regional dominance.

Three multiplex tiling protocols using a single primer set recover long amplicons of SARS-CoV-2 directly from clinical sample total RNA for sequencing on Nanopore, Illumina, or Sanger platforms.
