Integrating DNA and RNA sequencing for enhanced pathogen detection in respiratory infections
14 Mar 2025
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The clinical value of shotgun metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) in improving the detection rates of respiratory pathogens is well-established. However, mNGS is complex and expensive. This study designed and evaluated the performance of targeted NGS (tNGS) in diagnosing respiratory infections. METHODS: We retrospectively included samples from 281 patients with lower respiratory tract...
