Central Africa and presents clinically in humans as a smallpox-like illness (Bunge et al., 2022). Monkeypox virus (MPXV) is an enveloped virus with a particle size of ca. 300×240 nm containing a double-stranded DNA genome of ~197 kb taxonomically classified in the family <em>Poxviridae</em>, genus <em>Orthopoxvirus</em> (Weaver and Isaacs, 2008). There is increasing public health concern about the geographical spread and re-emergence of MPXV arising from the recent multi-country outbreaks, with more than 47 206 cases reported in 92 non-endemic countries since the first case was laboratory confirmed in the United Kingdom on the 7th of May 2022 (updated August 28th 2022 (CDC, 2022)). The MPXV genome reported (GenBank ON872184) here was from a laboratory-confirmed Irish case (Orthopox group RNA and MPXV-specific RNA detection by real-time PCR) identified in June 2022. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of a lesion swab sample collected visualised multiple characteristic brick-shaped poxvirus virions with lattice-like surface detail (Fig. 1). We performed a sequence-independent, single-primer amplification (SISPA) viromics approach to achieve a non-selective (unbiased) amplification of viral RNA transcripts and here report horizontal genome coverage over 90% with an average vertical coverage (depth) between 9x and 21x. Phylogenetic analysis with 35 publicly available international MPXV genome sequences from multiple countries (UK, Israel, Nigeria, USA, Singapore and Portugal) sampled between 2017-2019 and 2022 (Happi <em>et al</em>.), demonstrated high sequence similarity to other cases circulating in the 2022 outbreak in Europe and USA clustered together in clade 3 (Happi <em>et al</em>.); with the Irish MPXV genome further clustered in the B.1 lineage (Fig. 2).</p> <p><strong>Methods</strong></p> <p><strong>Sample collection and DNA extraction.</strong> Following lysis and inactivation in a Containment Level 3 (CL3) facility with a viral transport medium (VTM) to guanidinium isothiocyanate lysis buffer mixed in a ratio of 1:2.5, total nucleic acids were extracted on the Roche MagNA Pure 96 platform as follows: 200 µL of swab material in VTM was added to 500 µL Roche lysis buffer, and extracted on the Roche MagNA Pure 96 system (input volume 450 µL and eluted in 100 µL). Alternatively, DNA from 200 µL of material in VTM was extracted using the Qiagen QIAamp DNA Mini kit, according to the manufacturer’s instructions.</p> <p><strong>Molecular Diagnostics.</strong> Total nucleic acids were extracted from clinical specimens (swabs in VTM) on the Roche MagNA Pure 96 automated platform for routine diagnostics after lysis in a CL3 laboratory for molecular diagnostics. Real-time PCR was performed on the ABI7500 SDS platform employing the Orthopoxvirus RT-PCR kit (Altona) as per the manufacturer’s instructions, or the previously described assays for generic MPXV and West African clade (<a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20643162/" class="inline-onebox" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">Real-time PCR assays for the specific detection of monkeypox virus West African and Congo Basin strain DNA - PubMed</a>).</p> <p><strong>Transmission electron microscopy (TEM).</strong> One sample (sample Z22IRL00094) was filtered through a 0.45 µm filter and 40 µL filtrate fixed in an equal volume of 5% glutaraldehyde for 1 h at room temperature. Sample was placed on formvar-coated copper 400 electron microscopy grids for 5 minutes; excess supernatant was removed and the grids were stained with 1 % uranyl acetate. Grids were visualized using a Tecnai 12 transmission electron microscope.</p> <p><strong>Sequence-Independent, Single-Primer Amplification (SISPA) amplification.</strong> DNA was amplified using a SISPA approach adapted from Kafetzopoulou <em>et al</em>, 2018. Primer A - 5’-GTTTCCCACTGGAGGATA-(N9)-3’ was annealed to extracted DNA by incubation at 65°C for 5 minutes followed by 4°C for 5 minutes. First strand cDNA synthesis was performed using Superscript IV, and incubated at 50°C for 10 min followed by addition of Sequenase V2.0 DNA polymerase, according to manufacturer’s instructions, and incubated at 37°C for 8 minutes. DNA amplification was performed using AccuTaq LA (Sigma, Poole, United Kingdom), in which 5 μL of DNA and 1 μL (40 pmol/μL) of Primer B (5′-GTTTCCCACTGGAGGATA-3′) were added to a 50 μL reaction, according to the manufacturer’s instructions. PCR conditions were as follows: 98°C for 30s, followed by 30 cycles of 94°C for 15 s, 50°C for 20 s, and 68°C for 5 min, and a final step of 68°C for 10 min. Amplified cDNA was purified using a 1:1 ratio of AMPure XP beads (Beckman Coulter, Brea, California (CA)) and quantified using the Qubit High Sensitivity dsDNA kit (Thermo Fisher, Waltham, US). A no template control was included in each sequencing run.</p> <p><strong>MinION library preparation and sequencing.</strong> Individual SISPA-amplified samples were barcoded using the rapid barcoding kit SQK-RBK004 (Oxford Nanopore Technologies, ONT), then run pooled and run on a R9.4.1 flow cell, employing a 48 h run script with high base-calling accuracy enabled.</p> <p><strong>Sequence Assembly and Analysis</strong> The data generated was basecalled and demultiplexed with Guppy v5.1.13 (ONT) using the high accuracy model and for the barcode kit stated above. The sequence reads were trimmed to remove adapters and barcode sequences with Porechop v.0.3.2pre (<a href="https://github.com/rrwick/Porechop" class="inline-onebox" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">GitHub - rrwick/Porechop: adapter trimmer for Oxford Nanopore reads</a>). The MPXV reads were aligned and mapped with BWA (Li and Durbin, 2009) against the reference genome with accession number ON563414. Medaka (<a href="https://github.com/nanoporetech/medaka" class="inline-onebox" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">GitHub - nanoporetech/medaka: Sequence correction provided by ONT Research</a>) was used to polish the assembled genomes. The assembled sequences were multiple-sequence aligned with publicly-available sequences in the NCBI database (<a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov</a>) using the program MAFFT (Yamada, Tomii, and Katoh, 2016). A phylogenetic tree was inferred using RAxML (Stamatakis, 2014) with support for the branches estimated using the bootstrap method with 200 repetitions.</p> <p><img src="https://virological.org/uploads/default/original/2X/3/32d23af8bc06cd4aecaea5ba268287e236b60ac0.jpeg" alt="image" data-base62-sha1="7fAhYI0gELo7u6yEjMEIcWgkS7m" width="602" height="242"></p> <p><strong>Figure 1.
