TLDR
This review focuses on the application of untargeted metagenomic next-generation sequencing to the clinical diagnosis of infectious diseases, particularly in areas in which conventional diagnostic approaches have limitations.
Abstract
Nearly all infectious agents contain DNA or RNA genomes, making sequencing an attractive approach for pathogen detection. The cost of high-throughput or next-generation sequencing has been reduced ...

RNA based mNGS approach identifies a novel human coronavirus from two individual pneumonia cases in 2019 Wuhan outbreak.

TL;DR: Phylogenetic analysis indicates that 2019-nCoV is close to coronaviruses (CoVs) circulating in Rhinolophus (Horseshoe bats), and Evolutionary analysis based on ORF1a/1b, S, and N genes suggests2019-n coV is more likely a novel CoV independently introduced from animals to humans.

Genomic surveillance reveals multiple introductions of SARS-CoV-2 into Northern California.

TL;DR: The genomic epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 in Northern California from late January to mid-March 2020 is investigated, using samples from 36 patients spanning nine counties and the Grand Princess cruise ship to support contact tracing, social distancing, and travel restrictions to contain the spread of the virus.

IDseq-An open source cloud-based pipeline and analysis service for metagenomic pathogen detection and monitoring.

TL;DR: Novel virus detection capability is benchmarked using both synthetically evolved viral sequences and real-world samples, including IDseq analysis of a nasopharyngeal swab sample acquired and processed locally in Cambodia from a tourist infected with the recently emergent SARS-CoV-2.

Trimmomatic: a flexible trimmer for Illumina sequence data

TL;DR: Timmomatic is developed as a more flexible and efficient preprocessing tool, which could correctly handle paired-end data and is shown to produce output that is at least competitive with, and in many cases superior to, that produced by other tools, in all scenarios tested.

Detection of Circulating Tumor DNA in Early- and Late-Stage Human Malignancies

Chetan Bettegowda, +69 more
TL;DR: The ability of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) to detect tumors in 640 patients with various cancer types was evaluated and suggested that ctDNA is a broadly applicable, sensitive, and specific biomarker that can be used for a variety of clinical and research purposes.
