Abstract

We report the draft genome sequences of a novel member of the Picornavirales isolated from Pacific abalone (Haliotis discus hannai). The full length of the assembled draft genome sequences, obtained by use of a next-generation sequencing technique, were 8,019 nucleotides, including an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase gene (5,088 nucleotides) and a capsid protein gene (2,553 nucleotides). This genome sequence will be useful for understanding viral disease of Pacific abalone.
