Herein, were studied the performance of an in-house mNGS protocol for routine diagnostics of viral respiratory infections with potential for automated pan-pathogen detection. Clinical sensitivity was analyzed using the optimized procedure, which in short consisted of total nucleic acid extraction, including internal controls (1:100 dilution); the adapted New England Biolabs Next library preparation protocol, including fragmentation with zinc, for combined RNA and DNA detection (see Library Preparation); and sequencing of 10 million reads (Illumina NextSeq 500). The Centrifuge default settings, with NCBI's nucleotide database and assignment of sequence reads to a maximum of five labels per sequence, resulted in various spurious classifications ( Figure 4) [eg, Lassa virus ( Figure 5 ), evidently highly unlikely to be present in patient samples from the Netherlands with respiratory complaints]. ./cache/cord-291860-dw1sfzqx.txt ./txt/cord-291860-dw1sfzqx.txt
