Abstract

We report the complete genome sequence of the monkeypox virus strain MPXV-ROK-P1-2022, isolated from the first patient diagnosed with monkeypox in the Republic of Korea in June 2022. The virus was fully sequenced on the Illumina MiSeq instrument, and the phylogenetic tree showed that the strain belongs to lineage B.1.1.
