Systematic evaluation of 24 extraction and library preparation combinations for metagenomic sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 in saliva

Kenin Qian, Varada Abhyankar, Dahlia Keo…·Valerie A. Arboleda

The paper evaluates 24 metagenomic sequencing workflows for SARS-CoV-2 detection in saliva, finding that RNA-Seq library preparation has a greater impact on viral read recovery than extraction methods.
