Abstract

We report complete genome sequences of 14 severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 Omicron sub-lineage JN.1 obtained from Bangladeshi individuals between 19 December 2023 and 21 January 2024. All sequence data were generated by Oxford Nanopore Sequencing Technology using the amplicon sequencing approach developed by the ARTIC network.
