Could they have infected each other? Only understanding each person’s unique viral RNA sequence could answer that question. The standard test to determine whether someone is infected with the ...

Bats carry viral pathogens that typically do not lead to severe disease in the bats themselves but can be lethal to humans. Adaptations in certain immune genes might contribute to this resistance.

This application note explores how an innovative panel provides a comprehensive tool for infectious disease research and ...

DNA sequencing is largely used to study human diseases and genetics, but in recent years, sequencing has become a routine part of viral point of care, and as sequencing becomes cheaper and cheaper, ...

This study evaluates alignment-free (AF) methods as scalable and rapid alternatives for viral sequence classification, focusing on identifying techniques that maintain high accuracy and efficiency ...

ViruSpy is a pipeline designed for virus discovery from metagenomic sequencing data available in NCBI’s SRA database. The first step identifies viral reads in the metagenomic sample with Magic-BLAST, ...

Amplicon-based sequencing approaches have been widely adopted for routine microbiology applications, including targeted 16S rRNA for bacterial taxonomic classification and tiled multiplex PCR for ...

Here we demonstrate how to combine viral genetic barcoding with high-throughput sequencing to track single cells in a heterogeneous population. We use this technique to track the in vivo ...

Illumina has announced the Illumina SARS-CoV-2 Data Toolkit, a new suite of data analysis tools and workflow functionality for researchers working with the virus using next-generation sequencing (NGS) ...

A Nextera DNA library preparation kit (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA) was used for sample genome sequencing using the Illumina MiSeq Amplicon application for virome reference genomes. Quality control ...
