  Unraveling Metagenomics: A Comprehensive Diagnostic Approach for COVID-19

  By Lavanya T. Nair, Shweta Singh

  Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has brought attention to the need for rapid, accurate, and scalable diagnostic techniques. Metagenomics, a powerful technique that enables the comprehensive analysis of genetic material from complex microbial communities, has emerged as a promising diagnostic approach for COVID-19. This article elucidates the principles of metagenomic sequencing, highlighting its ability to detect viral RNA directly from clinical samples without prior knowledge of the pathogen. Furthermore, we discuss the …
