The paper reports the first whole-genome sequencing of dengue virus from field-caught mosquitoes in southern Brazil, identifying DENV-1 and DENV-2 with evidence of viral adaptation and co-circulation.

This paper describes adapting Illumina protocols for rapid and accurate SARS-CoV-2 whole genome sequencing during a hospital outbreak, reducing library prep time and sharing protocols with a genomics surveillance network.

This paper describes a method to sequence Zika and other virus genomes directly from clinical samples using multiplex PCR and portable sequencing technologies, achieving complete genomes in 1-2 days.
