In an era of decreasing genetic diversity of Measles Virus (MeV), effective surveillance requires a higher-resolution genotyping method or whole genome sequencing (WGS) to document elimination. Through optimization of MeV WGS protocol, we developed a MeV-specific probe enrichment method that allows next generation sequencing from clinical specimens. With the probe enrichment method, 70% of specimens can be sequenced at a read depth of greater than 10 reads with minimal off-target sequences.
在麻疹病毒（MeV）遗传多样性降低的时代，有效的监测需要更高分辨率的基因分型方法或全基因组测序（WGS）来记录消除情况。通过优化 MeV WGS 方案，我们开发了一种 MeV 特异性探针富集方法，可从临床标本中进行下一代测序。使用探针富集方法，70%的标本可以以大于 10 个读数的读深进行测序，并且最小化了脱靶序列。
