Next-generation sequencing (NGS) applications for the diagnostics of infectious diseases has demonstrated great potential with three distinct approaches: whole-genome sequencing (WGS), targeted NGS (tNGS), and metagenomic NGS (mNGS, also known as clinical metagenomics). These approaches provide several advantages over traditional microbiologic methods, though challenges still exist.
下一代测序 (NGS) 在传染病诊断方面的应用具有巨大的潜力,主要有三种不同的方法:全基因组测序 (WGS)、靶向 NGS (tNGS) 和宏基因组 NGS (mNGS,也称为临床宏基因组学)。与传统的微生物学方法相比,这些方法具有许多优势,但仍然存在挑战。
