Advanced metagenomics technology transforms disease diagnosis
• By Editorial Staff
Metagenomics has advanced to enable rapid diagnosis as seen in a case where a critically ill child was saved from a hidden infection using this technique. Recent trends show the genetic technique can identify a wide range of infections with breakthroughs in genomic analysis and COVID-19 identification now applied to uncover hidden pathogens. Advancements in metagenomics are improving medical diagnosis to disease diagnosis.
