Detecting Novel Viruses Using a Comprehensive Enrichment Panel

Learn how a target enrichment approach improves the discovery and characterization of viral pathogens.

Share

Detecting emerging and re-emerging viral pathogens is crucial for public health. While next-generation sequencing (NGS) approaches can permit the unbiased identification of known and novel viral infectious agents, high levels of contaminating human nucleic acids reduce the method's analytical sensitivity. A hybridization-based target enrichment strategy can overcome this limitation.

Download this application note to learn how a comprehensive target enrichment panel enables scientists to detect highly divergent viral strains, thereby making NGS a viable approach for viral pathogen discovery and surveillance
