Choclo virus (CHOV) recovered from deep metatranscriptomics of archived frozen tissues in natural history biorepositories

ConclusionsViruses occurring at extremely low abundances can be recovered from deep metatranscriptomics of archival tissues housed in research natural history museum biorepositories. Our efforts resulted in the second CHOV genome publicly available. This genomic data is important for future surveillance and diagnostic tools as well as understanding the evolution and pathogenicity of CHOV.
