Virus sequencing SquiDBase

This dataset comprises raw and basecalled nanopore sequencing data from 68 virus samples (spanning 24 distinct species or subtypes), generated using Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) MinIon platform (R10.4.1 flowcells). The data were collected as part of the SquiDBase initiative to improve benchmarking and method development for raw nanopore signal processing. Here we provide basecalled FASTQ files, complementing the raw data that were uploaded to the SquiDBase repository (https://squidbase.org). The following viruses from the Insitute of Tropical Medicine Virology Unit's virus bank were sequenced: Chikungunya virus (CHIKV-1, CHIKV-2, CHIKV-3, CHIKV-4), Eastern Equine Encephalitis virus (EEEV), Dengue virus (DENV1, DENV2, DENV3, DENV4), Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV), Japanese Encephalitis virus (JEV), Mayaro virus (MAYV), Monkeypox virus (MPOX), O'nyong-nyong virus (ONNV), Rift Valley Fever virus (RVFV), Sandfly Fever Naples virus (SFNV), Sandfly Fever Turkey virus (SFTV), Sindbis virus (SINV), Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), Tick-borne Encephalitis virus (TBEV), Usutu virus (USUV), Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus?(VEEV), West Nile virus (WNV), Western Equine Encephalitis virus (WEEV), Yellow Fever virus (YFV), and Zika virus (ZIKV).
