Unmapped short reads from whole-genome sequencing indicate potential infectious pathogens in German Black Pied cattle

Abstract When resequencing animal genomes, some short reads cannot be mapped to the reference genome and are usually discarded. In this study, unmapped reads from 302 German Black Pied cattle were analyzed to identify potential pathogenic DNA. These unmapped reads were assembled and blasted against...
