Title Nasopharyngeal Swab Metatranscriptomics for identification of SARS-Cov-2
Relevance Medical
Data types Raw sequence reads
Organisms Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2
Description We describe the detection of a SARS-CoV-2 genome through metatranscriptome next-generation sequencing directly from the nasopharyngeal swab of a suspected case of local transmission of Covid-19, in Brazil. Depletion of human ribosomal RNA and use of an optimized, in-house developed, bioinformatics strategy contributed to successful detection of the virus.
