Metagenomics Analysis of Viruses Associated with Cassava Brown Streak Disease in Kenya

This article in Viruses journal characterises viral populations associated with cassava in Kenya. In this study, cassava samples obtained from major cassava growing regions in Kenya were analyzed by Illumina sequencing. Results identified the most abundant viruses and characterized their genome-wide variation, identified genetically stable and hypervariable areas, establishing the foundation to develop improved diagnostic tests, and have wider implications for breeding virus-resistant cassava.
