Detecting novel viral strains with One Codex and Twist Viral Research Panels

Sequencing viral genomes from mixed microbial community samples is challenging due to the relatively low quantity of viral reads compared to host and/or background. One Codex and Twist Bioscience have co-developed targeted enrichment-based sequencing and analysis kits for recovery of whole viral genomes from high-background samples1. This semi-targeted approach enables enrichment of known viruses while still capturing novel viruses. The Twist Viral Research panels bundled with One Codex analysis are available in two versions.
