BackgroundClinical metagenomics (CMg) offers high-throughput respiratory pathogen detection with a wider range than targeted, probe-dependent diagnostics. Sequencing cost and the challenges of high host biomass in non-invasive samples are barriers to the use of CMg in high-throughput respiratory pathogen detection. MethodsWe optimised a long-read sequencing workflow to detect RNA viruses in nasopharyngeal swabs, employing pathogen enrichment and ONT sequencing. As a pre-requisite for agnostic p...
