Complete Genome Sequences of Monkeypox Virus from a French Clinical Sample and the Corresponding Isolated Strain, Obtained Using Nanopore Sequencing

Abstract

We report the whole-genome sequences of a monkeypox virus from the skin lesion of a French patient and the corresponding isolated viral strain. Both viral genomic sequences were successfully obtained by applying shotgun metagenomics using the Oxford Nanopore Technologies sequencing approach.We report the whole-genome sequences of a monkeypox virus from the skin lesion of a French patient and the corresponding isolated viral strain.
