that had been inoculated with samples from the patient and from Camel B were subjected to RT-PCR
amplification with an ABI Veriti thermal cycler (Applied Biosystems) with the use of primer pairs covering the whole length of the viral genome.
The
RT-PCR fragments were then sequenced, as described
in the Supplementary Appendix. Sequences
were deposited in GenBank and given accession
numbers (KF958702 MERS-CoV-Jeddah-human-1
for the patient’s isolate and KF917527 MERS-CoVJeddah-
camel-1 for the camel’s isolate). Genomic
regions containing unique mutations were also
partially resequenced from the original samples
obtained from both the patient and the camel.
