A streamlined clinical metagenomic sequencing protocol for rapid pathogen identification

Abstract Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) holds promise as a diagnostic tool for unbiased pathogen identification and precision medicine. However, its medical utility depends largely on assay simplicity and reproducibility. In the current study, we aimed to develop a streamlined Illumin...
