A viral discovery methodology for clinical biopsy samples utilising massively parallel next generation sequencing.

Here we describe a virus discovery protocol for a range of different virus genera, that can be applied to biopsy-sized tissue samples. Our viral enrichment procedure, validated using canine and human liver samples, significantly improves viral read copy number and increases the length of viral conti...
