Shotgun Metagenomics Sequencing
Shotgun Metagenomics Sequencing
This untargeted NGS approach is beneficial for identifying novel or emerging infectious microbes. It’s used by infectious disease researchers to identify new pathogens, track transmission, and detect genomic mutations. Clinically, it’s applied to detect vector-borne pathogens in blood samples and has shown promise in diagnosing infections with these pathogens
