Unbiased metagenomic exploration of transfusion‐transmitted infections with nanopore sequencing
Nanopore metagenomic sequencing enables comprehensive detection of blood-borne pathogens in plasma samples. This approach offers a promising complementary strategy for enhancing transfusion safety surveillance, and the demonstrated strain-level characterization supports its potential utility for blood safety applications.
