Fungal Whole-Genome Sequencing for Species Identification: From Test Development to Clinical Utilization

Using next-generation sequencing (NGS), we developed and validated a whole-genome sequencing (WGS)-based clinical test for fungal species identification on clinical isolates. The identification is mainly based on the fungal ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region as the primary marker, an...
