Correction: specific capture and whole-genome sequencing of viruses from clinical samples.

There was an error in the accession number in Materials and Methods. EBV and KSHV dataset can be found under the Study Accession number: ERP001026. Individual Sample Accessions are as follows: 1208_JSC1_SN_KS - ERS074823 1212_HBL6_SN_KS - ERS074824 1210_JSC1_SN_EB - ERS074825 1215_HBL6_SN_EB - ERS074833 Whole genome sequencing of viruses directly from clinical samples is integral for understanding the genetics of host-virus interactions. Here, we report the use of sample sparing target enrichment (by hybridisation) for viral nucleic acid separation and deep-sequencing of herpesvirus genomes directly from a range of clinical samples including saliva, blood, virus vesicles, cerebrospinal fluid, and tumour cell lines. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the method by deep-sequencing 13 highly cell-associated human herpesvirus genomes and generating full length genome alignments at high read depth. Moreover, we show the specificity of the method enables the study of viral population structures and their diversity within a range of clinical samples types
