What sequencing depth is needed for taxonomic identification and virulence profiling of an unknown bacterial pathogen?

28 October 2023 1 5K Report

Taking into account there are around 50 people affected, and it is necessary to act quickly to identify the pathogen

Hello,

You can make use of between 10M - 16M mapped reads. This should suffice, considering your large target population. At least with that you should be able to get snapshots of genes that are most highly expressed.

I hope this helps
