Evaluation of a custom designed hybridisation assay for whole genome sequencing of human adenoviruses direct from clinical samples

Abstract excerpt

Background: Human Adenoviruses are a common cause of disease and can cause significant morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients. Nosocomial transmission events can occur with whole genome sequencing playing a crucial role. This study evaluates the performance of a custom designed SureSelectXT target enrichment assay based on 14 adenovirus genomes for sequencing direct from clinical samples. Methods:...
