The paper uses small RNA sequencing to obtain the full-length genome sequence of a novel tick-borne flavivirus and demonstrates the feasibility of using sRNA-seq for virus detection in low-RNA samples.

This study uses sRNA-seq to annotate the mitochondrial genome of Erthesina fullo at 1 bp resolution, revealing new insights into tandem repeats and steady-state lncRNAs.

This study uses pan RNA-seq to show the widespread presence of 5' and 3' end small RNAs, which can annotate mitochondrial and nuclear non-coding genes and identify new steady-state RNAs, challenging classical theories.

The study detects a 235-bp DNA segment from African Swine Fever Virus in hard ticks from sheep and bovine, showing 99% identity with ASFV and suggesting a new strain.
