This method lacks sufficient sensitivity to detect viruses when the viral burden is low or when the DNA sequence of the suspected etiological agent is not clearly distinguishable from the control sample [31] . The following items should be included in any report on viral metagenomic studies: firstly, the sequencing platform and its version number; secondly, raw sequence data accession numbers in a public database; thirdly, details about the bioinformatic analysis, including the homology search tool and the database being used to assign the taxonomy, and their versions; fourthly, a list of known and previously unknown viruses found, clearly showing if the 'novel' viruses are new strains of a previously described species or completely different viruses; and fifthly, causality evidence if any. ./cache/cord-325750-x7jpsnxg.txt ./txt/cord-325750-x7jpsnxg.txt
