Article Synopsis
- Rapid pathogen identification is crucial for managing diseases, and targeted sequencing can focus on important genes for better accuracy than single-gene methods.
- A new tool was developed for high-throughput Nanopore sequencing, extracting targeted genes from 386 fungal species to create 26,000 DNA probes aimed at enhancing identification efficiency.
- The resulting sequencing demonstrated a significant increase in coverage and allowed for clearer phylogenetic trees, proving effective for fungal identification and potentially applicable to other pathogens.
