Optimization and validation of sample preparation for metagenomic sequencing of viruses in clinical samples
8 Aug 2017
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Sequence-specific PCR is the most common approach for virus identification in diagnostic laboratories. However, as specific PCR only detects pre-defined targets, novel virus strains or viruses not included in routine test panels will be missed. Recently, advances in high-throughput sequencing allow for virus-sequence-independent identification of entire virus populations in clinical samples, yet...
