Metagenomic arbovirus detection using MinION nanopore sequencing

Abstract excerpt

With its small size and low cost, the hand-held MinION sequencer is a powerful tool for in-field surveillance. Using a metagenomic approach, it allows non-targeted detection of viruses in a sample within a few hours. This study aimed to determine the ability of the MinION to metagenomically detect and characterise a virus from an infected mosquito. RNA was extracted from an Aedes notoscriptus mosquito infected...
