Virome Capture Sequencing Enables Sensitive Viral Diagnosis and Comprehensive Virome Analysis

ABSTRACT  Insensitivity and technical complexity have impeded the implementation of high-throughput nucleic acid sequencing in differential diagnosis of viral infections in clinical laboratories. Here, we describe the development of a virome capture sequencing platform for vertebrate viruses (VirCap...
