Coronavirus discovery by metagenomic sequencing: a tool for pandemic preparedness 2020-08-21 .txt text/plain 2315 129 49 METHODS: The performance of a viral metagenomic protocol in a clinical setting for the identification of novel coronaviruses was tested using clinical samples containing SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV, and MERS-CoV, in combination with databases generated to contain only viruses of before the discovery dates of these coronaviruses, to mimic virus discovery. Additionally, the efficacy of detection of novel coronaviruses using capture probes targeting vertebrate viruses [10] [11] known before the current pandemic was analyzed using a SARS-CoV-2 clinical sample. After extraction of human reads, FASTQ files generated for SARS-CoV-2 samples (with and without viral enrichment) were uploaded for classification and de novo assembly by the commercial webbased tool Genome Detective v1.120 (www.genomedetective.com, accessed 2020-05-11) [9] , using a reference database (generated 2019-09-21). In this study, we evaluated the performance of a metagenomic sequencing protocol for the identification of emerging viruses using clinical samples in combination with a simulated reference database. ./cache/cord-293890-thfros7x.txt ./txt/cord-293890-thfros7x.txt
