1 Viral genome sequencing: applications to clinical management and public health Professor Judy Breuer

2 Why do whole viral genome sequencing Genome sequencing allows detection of multigenic resistance in widely spaced genes Genome sequencing may resolve nosocomial transmission events especially for DNA viruses where there is insuffient variation in small fragments Genome sequencing may identify outbreaks or patterns of spread

3 Nosocomial Transmission Index case Samples Contacts Samples Patient 1 Varicella vesicle (4) n/a n/a Subject 2 Varicella vesicle (3) Patient 3 Varicella vesicle (2) Subject 4 Zoster Vesicle (1) Patient 5 Varicella vesicle (1) Subject 6 Varicella vesicle (1) Patient 7 Varicella vesicle (1) Patient 8 Zoster vesicle (1) Patients 9 & 10 Varicella vesicle (1,1) Specimen 1 Varicella vesicle (1) n/a n/a Specimen 2 Varicella vesicle (1) n/a n/a Specimen 3 Varicella Skin swab n/a n/a Specimen 4 Gastric biopsy n/a n/a

6 Fatal varicella in renal transplant recipients Transferred to ITU Shingles diagnosed chickenpox chickenpox death

7 Clade 1 Clade 3 Clade 5

8 Clade 1 viruses are the most common clade 1 clade 2 clade 3 clade 5 clade 4 VZV > 99% similarity between viruses from a single clade

9 Problems with whole viral genome sequencing Virus are intracellular organisms and unlike bacteria, sufficient viral nucleic acid for good quality NGS sequencing cannot easily be obtained from culture (human DNA overwhelms sequence) PCR can be used to amplify fragments for sequencing but this is not suitable for larger viruses or small volume clinical specimens (contain too little viral nucleic acid)

10 Purifying viral DNA for NGS (1) Total DNA extracted from clinical sample (± WGA) (2) Fragmentation and library preparation ( Illumina-based protocol) (3) Target DNA isolated by hybridisation with custom 120-mer RNA baits (4) Sequencing (Illumina) generating paired-end reads (76bp) Incl rounds PCR (5) Quality control: Removes poor quality reads (QUASR) (6) Reference guided assembly using Burrows-Wheeler Aligner (mapped vs. VZV strain Dumas, poka or voka)

11 SureSelect enriches for target DNA VZV EBV KSHV Sample Ratio of Viral: Human Genome copies % on target reads % Genome coverage Pre-hybridisation Post-hybridisation >5-fold >100-fold Mean read depth per base Vesicle >99% >97% 3022 CSF >99% >97% 2416 Saliva % >98% 1096 Blood >99% >98% fold enrichment High % of on target reads Cell lysate >98% >97% 2599 Cell lysate >98% >93% 1773 Determined by qpcr quantification of ORF27 (VZV) and KRAS (Human) Depledge et al. PLoS One, 2011 Near full length genome coverage Very high per-base read depth

12 Sequencing Evolution viruses and pathogenesis by NGS A C A A T Consensus Multiple sequence reads for each base Biallelic positions- important for minority variant resistance etc

13 Method Validated Targeted enrichment 1. Highly sensitive can recover <1000 VZV genomes in < 10ng DNA Depledge Reproducible and representative of the original Depledge 2013 Error<1% 3. Less mutagenic than PCR (without loss of population structure due to culture) Depledge 2011

22 Direction of Transmission Minority variant in B becomes fixed in A following transmission bottleneck Confirms direction of transmission is B to A Kundu Clin Infect Dis 2013

23 What does this study tell us 1. Whole genome sequencing identifies nosocomial transmission(even where patients are isolated) 2. Norovirus shed by immunocompromised is infectious (A became infected only after moving to same ward as B) 3. Norovirus infection triggers chronic diarrhoea in immunocompromised A developed diarrhoea only after becoming infected with norovirus 4. Deep sequencing data can be used to identify direction of spread
