Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Background</jats:title> <jats:p>The <jats:italic>Coccolithoviridae</jats:italic> is a recently discovered family of viruses that infect the marine coccolithophorid <jats:italic>Emiliania huxleyi</jats:italic>. Following on from the sequencing of the type strain EhV-86, we have sequenced a second strain, EhV-163.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Results</jats:title> <jats:p>We have sequenced approximately 80% of the EhV-163 genome, equating to more than 200 full length CDSs. Conserved and variable CDSs and a gene replacement have been identified in the EhV-86 and EhV-163 genomes.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Conclusion</jats:title> <jats:p>The sequencing of EhV-163 has provided a wealth of information which will aid the re-annotating of the EhV-86 genome and identified a gene insertion in EhV-163.</jats:p> </jats:sec>
