ABSTRACT Adventitious agent detection during the production of vaccines and biotechnology-based medicines is of critical importance to ensure the final product is free from any possible viral contamination. Increasing the speed and accuracy of viral detection is beneficial as a means to accelerate development timelines and to ensure patient safety. Here, several rapid viral metagenomics approaches were tested on simulated next-generation sequencing (NGS) data sets and existing data sets from virus spike-in studies done in CHO-K1 and HeLa cell lines. It was observed that these rapid methods had comparable sensitivity to full-read alignment methods used for NGS viral detection for these data sets, but their specificity could be improved. A method that first filters host reads using KrakenUniq and then selects the virus classification tool based on the number of remaining reads is suggested as the preferred approach among those tested to detect nonlatent and nonendogenous viruses. Such an approach shows reasonable sensitivity and specificity for the data sets examined and requires less time and memory as full-read alignment methods. IMPORTANCE Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has been proposed as a complementary method to detect adventitious viruses in the production of biotherapeutics and vaccines to current in vivo and in vitro methods. Before NGS can be established in industry as a main viral detection technology, further investigation into the various aspects of bioinformatics analyses required to identify and classify viral NGS reads is needed. In this study, the ability of rapid metagenomics tools to detect viruses in biopharmaceutical relevant samples is tested and compared to recommend an efficient approach. The results showed that KrakenUniq can quickly and accurately filter host sequences and classify viral reads and had comparable sensitivity and specificity to slower full read alignment approaches, such as BLASTn, for the data sets examined.

Background Ipomoea is the largest genus in the family Convolvulaceae. The species in this genus have been widely used in many fields, such as agriculture, nutrition, and medicine. With the development of next-generation sequencing, more than 50 chloroplast genomes of Ipomoea species have been sequenced. However, the repeats and divergence regions in Ipomoea have not been well investigated. In the present study, we sequenced and assembled eight chloroplast genomes from sweet potato’s close wild relatives. By combining these with 32 published chloroplast genomes, we conducted a detailed comparative analysis of a broad range of Ipomoea species. Methods Eight chloroplast genomes were assembled using short DNA sequences generated by next-generation sequencing technology. By combining these chloroplast genomes with 32 other published Ipomoea chloroplast genomes downloaded from GenBank and the Oxford Research Archive, we conducted a comparative analysis of the repeat sequences and divergence regions across the Ipomoea genus. In addition, separate analyses of the Batatas group and Quamoclit group were also performed. Results The eight newly sequenced chloroplast genomes ranged from 161,225 to 161,721 bp in length and displayed the typical circular quadripartite structure, consisting of a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions (30,798–30,910 bp each) separated by a large single copy (LSC) region (87,575–88,004 bp) and a small single copy (SSC) region (12,018–12,051 bp). The average guanine-cytosine (GC) content was approximately 40.5% in the IR region, 36.1% in the LSC region, 32.2% in the SSC regions, and 37.5% in complete sequence for all the generated plastomes. The eight chloroplast genome sequences from this study included 80 protein-coding genes, four rRNAs (rrn23, rrn16, rrn5, and rrn4.5), and 37 tRNAs. The boundaries of single copy regions and IR regions were highly conserved in the eight chloroplast genomes. In Ipomoea, 57–89 pairs of repetitive sequences and 39–64 simple sequence repeats were found. By conducting a sliding window analysis, we found six relatively high variable regions (ndhA intron, ndhH-ndhF, ndhF-rpl32, rpl32-trnL, rps16-trnQ, and ndhF) in the Ipomoea genus, eight (trnG, rpl32-trnL, ndhA intron, ndhF-rpl32, ndhH-ndhF, ccsA-ndhD, trnG-trnR, and pasA-ycf3) in the Batatas group, and eight (ndhA intron, petN-psbM, rpl32-trnL, trnG-trnR, trnK-rps16, ndhC-trnV, rps16-trnQ, and trnG) in the Quamoclit group. Our maximum-likelihood tree based on whole chloroplast genomes confirmed the phylogenetic topology reported in previous studies. Conclusions The chloroplast genome sequence and structure were highly conserved in the eight newly-sequenced Ipomoea species. Our comparative analysis included a broad range of Ipomoea chloroplast genomes, providing valuable information for Ipomoea species identification and enhancing the understanding of Ipomoea genetic resources.
