Metagenomic identification of viral sequences in laboratory reagents
2021-09-11
Abstract excerpt
2. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing has transformed the discovery and diagnosis of infectious disease, with the power to characterize the complete ‘infectome’ (bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites) of an individual host organism. However, the identification of novel pathogens has been complicated by widespread microbial contamination in commonly used laboratory reagents. Using total RNA sequencing (“metatrans...
