Development of a whole genome sequencing method for Hepatitis E Virus

Description

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) genotype 3 is a zoonotic virus. HEV has a relatively high genetic diversity and its classification can best be done by whole genome sequencing. So far, to obtain the virus complete sequence a high concentration of HEV is needed.

Our aim is to develop a sample processing protocol for recovery of enough RNA from HEV positive target samples of different origin and concentrations.
