N1 - Funding Information:
We thank Daniel H. Haft for his help building the hidden Markov models that were used to annotate some of the RVG segments, as well as the members of the Joint Technology Center at the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI) for performing the Illumina sequencing and Susmita Shrivastava in the JCVI Bioinformatics Group for submitting the genome to NCBI. We also thank members of the MRC/Diarrhoeal Pathogens Research Unit who assisted in generating the cDNA using a sequence-independent amplification technique, as well as P. J. Loock and his team from the Limpopo Veterinary Laboratory Services for collecting and providing the sample. The data for the manuscript and its preparation were generated while D.E.W. was employed at JCVI. The opinions expressed in this article are the authors' own and do not reflect the views of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Department of Health and Human Services, or the U.S. government. This project was funded with federal funds from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Department of Health and Human Services under contract number HHSN272200900007C (Genome Sequencing Center for Infectious Diseases). The project was also funded by the South Africa Medical Research Council and the Poliomyelitis Research Foundation (PRF) of South Africa.

N2 - We report the first complete sequence for an avian group G rotavirus (RVG) genome from Africa, which is the third publically available RVG genome. These RVG genomes are highly diverse, especially in their VP4, VP7, NSP4, and NSP3 segments, indicating that RVG diversity is comparable to that of rotavirus A.
