Circular Whole-Transcriptome Amplification (cWTA) and mNGS Screening Enhanced by a Group Testing Algorithm (mEGA) Enable High-Throughput and Comprehensive Virus Identification

ABSTRACT Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) offers a hypothesis-free approach for pathogen detection, but its applicability in clinical diagnosis, in addition to other factors, remains limited due to complicated library construction. The present study describes a PCR-free isothermal workf...
