Advances in genomic profiling of respiratory viral pathogens


In this webinar, we heard from Dr. Daniel Maloney on whole genome amplification of, and characterisation of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) A and B. He discussed the group’s results from eight laboratories in five countries, providing insight into the circulating diversity of RSV. By contrast, Dr. Nick Gauthier described an end-to-end, metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) assay for the pathogen-agnostic detection of respiratory viruses.

In this webinar, viewers learnt:

  • How you can use nanopore technology for viral respiratory pathogen surveillance.
  • How to perform targeted viral sequencing of Respiratory Syncytial Virus for the purposes of genomic surveillance.
  • About the potential utility of metagenomic nanopore sequencing for infection control and public health surveillance.

Dr. Daniel Maloney, Postdoctoral researcher, NHS Lothian and Dr. Nick Gauthier, Research Program Manager & Senior Scientist, Bugseq
