Evaluating Nanopore Sequencing as a Respiratory Virus Diagnostic Tool for the Prehospital Setting
Overall, ONT Rapid Sequencing Kit combined with alignment to a known panel of pathogens has shown great potential utility in our hands for quickly and accurately identifying viral respiratory pathogens. This, combined with its ease of use and portability, makes it a great candidate for further research and development toward a deployable agnostic diagnostic testing platform.
