Abstract

Poxviruses are large, complex viruses, and their host species are widespread across the tree of life. As a result, the bioinformatics analysis of their genomes can be complex. Here we show how a few helpful tools and strategies can be used to inform the analysis, leading to a better understanding of the structural properties of poxvirus genomes and to a more accurate quality control of, or comparison between, assembled sequences.

Experimental Evolution of Poxviruses.

Experimental evolution is the process of exposing virus populations to defined selective pressures in a laboratory setting to identify adaptive changes. Coupled with deep sequencing, this experimental approach allows for nucleotide-level resolution of poxvirus adaptive strategies over time. Here, we present a general method of poxvirus experimental evolution, Illumina-based deep sequencing, and bioinformatic analyses to identify structural changes (e.g., gene duplication) as well as local adaptive changes (e.g., small indels and single nucleotide polymorphisms).
