Coding-complete genome sequence of a divergent black queen cell virus strain identified from honeybees (<i>Apis mellifera</i>) in Romania

We report the 8,451-nt coding-complete genome sequence of a divergent black queen cell virus strain (BQCV-Ro). This strain was identified via retrospective analyses of metagenomic virome data of <i>Apis mellifera</i> samples from Europe. The genome assembly is supported by extensive read mapping, with 100% horizontal coverage and a mean sequencing depth of ~38,171×. and shares 94.3% identity with the BQCV Yeongdeok isolate.
