The Role of Metagenomics and Next-Generation Sequencing in Infectious Disease Diagnosis
19 Aug 2021
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) for pathogen detection is becoming increasingly available as a method to identify pathogens in cases of suspected infection. mNGS analyzes the nucleic acid content of patient samples with high-throughput sequencing technologies to detect and characterize microorganism DNA and/or RNA. This unbiased approach to organism detection enables diagnosis of a broad...
