Genome detection
Dependencies
- 14 Sample collection/ transport/ preparation
Next steps
Improving sequencing of ASF genome
Research Question
- The complete sequencing of 1-3 isolates from each genotype, a series of viruses (>10) with different virulence and, a series of viruses (>5) that have replicated exclusively in domestic pigs, wild pigs and ticks
Research Gaps and Challenges
- Optimised and harmonised workflows are needed for next-generation sequencing
State Of the Art
- Using current, very robust technologies, it has been possible to develop a comprehensive database, which includes full length genome sequence of large number of isolates to replace the current less meaningful genotype-based classification: https://virology.uvic.ca/organisms/dsdnaviruses/asfarviridae/
