Assessing the Quality of Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing for Pathogen Detection in Lower Respiratory Infections

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Laboratory-developed metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) assays are increasingly being used for the diagnosis of infectious disease. To ensure comparable results and advance the quality control for the mNGS assay, we initiated a large-scale multicenter quality assessment to scrutinize the ability of mNGS to detect pathogens in lower respiratory infections. METHODS: A reference panel...
