Emerging role of metagenomic next‐generation sequencing in infectious disease diagnostics: Clinical integration and future directions

mLife, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 148-163, April 2026.
Abstract Infectious disease diagnostics has been transformed by metagenomic next‐generation sequencing (mNGS), an unbiased approach that detects bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites in a single assay. By sequencing all nucleic acids in a sample, mNGS overcomes the narrow detection scope and slow turnaround of conventional tests, substantially ...
