Rapid Respiratory Metagenomic Sequencing Using Hybridization Capture Workflows

This on‑demand scientific presentation evaluates a rapid hybridization capture–based metagenomic sequencing workflow for the detection of respiratory infections. Professor Judith Breuer discusses how optimized respiratory metagenomics approaches can reduce turnaround time while maintaining broad pathogen detection and data quality.

The presentation highlights the practical considerations of implementing rapid sequencing workflows in hospital laboratories, where speed and reliability are essential to support care.

What you’ll learn:

• How hybridization capture enables rapid respiratory metagenomic sequencing

• Workflow considerations for reducing turnaround time

• The role of metagenomic NGS in respiratory infection detection
