A Multicenter Study To Evaluate the Performance of High-Throughput Sequencing for Virus Detection

ABSTRACT The capability of high-throughput sequencing (HTS) for detection of known and unknown viruses makes it a powerful tool for broad microbial investigations, such as evaluation of novel cell substrates that may be used for the development of new biological products. However, like any new assay...
