Draft Genome Sequence of Phocine Herpesvirus 1 Isolated from the Brain of a Harbor Seal.

ABSTRACT: Phocine herpesvirus 1 (PhHV-1) is a viral pathogen with high prevalence, morbidity, and mortality in harbor seals. In this study, we used a metagenomic approach to assemble the PhHV-1 genome from the brain tissue of a harbor seal. Here, we present a 119-kb draft genome of PhHV-1 comprising 76 open reading frames.
