Evaluation of rRNA depletion methods for capturing the RNA virome from environmental surfaces

Abstract Objective Metatranscriptomic analysis of RNA viromes on built-environment surfaces is hampered by low RNA yields and high abundance of rRNA. Therefore, we evaluated the quality of libraries, efficiency of rRNA depletion, and viral detection sensitivity using a mock community and a melamine-...
