Request for RSV reference GISAID, GenBank, or other ID

[danpolanco]

We at Colorado are testing different primers and are interested in knowing what references were picked for RSV-A and RSV-B. If you have it, could you provide us with a GISAID, GenBank, or other ID?

[Desperate-Dan]

Hi danpolanco, the sequence IDs we used for the primer scheme generation are as follows:

RSVA:
EPI_ISL_1647421
EPI_ISL_1520435
EPI_ISL_2543800
EPI_ISL_1834101
EPI_ISL_12529646
EPI_ISL_9003918

RSVB:
EPI_ISL_1647600
EPI_ISL_1834174
EPI_ISL_2543853
EPI_ISL_1760384
EPI_ISL_11055801
EPI_ISL_9003920

If you're interested in trying our approach out please get in touch via the email on our original virological post.

it case it helps other... here is the mapping of the sequence names in this repository with the GISAID identifiers
