Complete genome sequence of a new tobamovirus naturally infecting tomatoes in Mexico

Genome Announc. 2013 Oct 3;1(5):e00794-13. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.00794-13.

Abstract

The complete genomic sequence of a new tobamovirus in tomatoes was determined through deep sequencing and assembly of small RNAs, then validated through Sanger sequencing. Based on the low sequence identity (≤85%) to known viruses and a close phylogenetic relationship to tobamoviruses, it was identified as a new species.
