Microbial Diversity in Children with Gastroenteritis in the Amazon Region of Brazil: Development and Validation of a Molecular Method for Complete Sequencing of Viral Genomes.

Introduction: Metagenomic sequencing is a powerful tool that is widely used in laboratories worldwide for taxonomic characterization of microorganisms in clinical and environmental samples. In this study, we utilized metagenomics to investigate comprehensively the microbial diversity in fecal samples of children over a four-year period. Our methods were carefully designed to ensure accurate and reliable results.
