title: RNA-Seq of Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus: human serum
design: Nucleic acid in samples collected during routine AFI surveillance in Peru was extracted using the MagNA Pure 96 DNA and Viral NA Small Volume kit (https://lifescience.roche.com). Library preparation was done using the KAPA RNA HyperPrep kit (https://sequencing.roche.com) followed by enrichment via in-solution hybridization capture (https://arborbiosci.com). The captured library was sequenced using an Illumina MiniSeq high-output reagent kit (150 cycles paired-end) (https://www.illumina.com/). Reads were mapped against the VEE strain (GenBank accession no. NC_001449 using Geneious (2023.2.1)
