Here, we report the coding-complete genome sequences of 40 severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) strains of the newly emerged recombinant Omicron variants XBB, XBB.1, and XBB.2. The strains were isolated from nasopharyngeal swab samples that had been collected from symptomatic patients in Bangladesh between September and October 2022 and were sequenced using an Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
