Summary of the sequenced viral-enriched libraries.
| Sample type | DNA Libraries | RNA Libraries | 454 Platform | Total Reads |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Feces | 1 | 1 | Titanium | 1 459 816 |
| Serum | 4 | 3 | GS FLX & Titanium | 1 095 915 |
| Nasopharyngeal Swabs | 2 | 2 | GS & GS FLX | 703 790 |
| Nasopharyngeal & Throat Swabs | 1 | 1 | Titanium | 432 919 |
| Cerebrospinal Fluid | 1 | 1 | Titanium | 209 748 |
| Total Reads | 3 902 188 |
The libraries analysed were prepared by pooling patient specimens of 5 different sample types. At least one DNA and one RNA library for each sample type, but in some cases more libraries were sequenced. The libraries were sequenced during the period of 2008 through 2012, during which the 454-pyrosequencing platform evolved, which is reflected in the different total number of reads per library.
