Genomic Characterization of a Goose Astrovirus Strain from Henan Province, China

A 2026 study isolates and characterizes a goose astrovirus (GAstV) strain, designated GAstV/HNJZ, from infected goslings in Henan Province, China. The complete genome is 7,183 nucleotides in length, sharing 99.6% nucleotide identity with a virulent strain from Anhui Province. Author Wang Dong provides this data under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Phylogenetic analysis of GAstV strains based on the described complete genome sequence.
• Studying viral evolution and selection pressure based on the described amino acid mutations and conserved evolution.
• Investigating the pathogenic mechanism of goose gout based on the described pathological lesions.
• Supporting the development of targeted vaccines and antiviral drugs based on the genomic characterization.

Strengths

• Provides a specific, complete genome length of 7,183 nucleotides.
• Includes precise phylogenetic classification (GAstV-II, subgenotype IId) and nucleotide identity (99.6%).
• Documents specific amino acid mutations (H26Q, A228T, A/T289T, N380S) in the capsid domain.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small (16.6 KB), indicating limited scope.
