Overview of Illumina sequencing pipeline for mumps viruses

  1. vRNA extraction with QiAmp vRNA mini kit (Qiagen)
  2. cDNA synthesis with Protoscript II First strand cDNA synthesis kit (NEB)
  3. PCR with Q5 Hotstart High-fidelity DNA polymerase (NEB) and mumps-specific primers
  4. Gel extraction with QiAquick gel extraction kit (Qiagen)
  5. Library preparation with Nextera XT DNA library prep kit (Illumina)
  6. QC with Tapestation and library pooling
