Sequencing of Picorna-like Viruses of the Havel River, Germany

To improve the understanding of the virome diversity of riverine ecosystems in metropolitan areas, a metagenome analysis was performed with water collected in June 2018 from the river Havel in Berlin, Germany. After enrichment of virus particles and RNA extraction, paired-end Illumina sequencing was conducted. This paper focuses on picorna-like viruses, the most diverse and abundant group of viruses with impact on human, animal and environmental health. Sequence data represent only picorna-like viruses shown in this publication.
