Shotgun metagenomics using next generation sequencing ( NGS ) is a promising technique to analyze both DNA and RNA microbial material from patient samples .
The Swiss NGS clinical virology community therefore decided to conduct a RT in 2018 , in order to benchmark current metagenomic workflows used at Swiss clinical virology laboratories , and thereby contribute to the definition of common best practices .
