Complete Genome Sequence of Human Coronavirus OC43 Isolated from Mexico

Genome Announc. 2016 Nov 10;4(6):e01256-16. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.01256-16.

Abstract

We report the complete genome sequence of the first Mexican human coronavirus (HCoV) OC43, obtained by new-generation sequencing and a metagenomic approach, isolated from a child hospitalized with pneumonia. The genome is closely related to the other OC43 genome sequences available, ranging from 99.8% to 98.2% nucleotide sequence identity.
