Clinical PathoScope: rapid alignment and filtration for accurate pathogen identification in clinical samples using unassembled sequencing data

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The use of sequencing technologies to investigate the microbiome of a sample can positively impact patient healthcare by providing therapeutic targets for personalized disease treatment. However, these samples contain genomic sequences from various sources that complicate the identification of pathogens. RESULTS: Here we present Clinical PathoScope, a pipeline to rapidly and accurately remove host...
