Viroscope™: a universal solution for plant virus and viroid diagnostics using HTS and cloud-based analysis.

ABSTRACT: Border biosecurity and food supply face significant global challenges due to the increasing threat of plant viruses, exacerbated by international plant trade. While high-throughput sequencing (HTS) -based virus diagnosis offers promising applications, challenges in data analysis and implementation have limited widespread adoption. Viroscope™ addresses these limitations through an advanced cloud service that leverages HTS for high-certainty virus and viroid identification. A field study was conducted on plants in post-entry quarantines using the Viroscope™ algorithm to evaluate its performance for phytosanitary diagnostics of virus and viroids. Tissue samples provided by the Chilean phytosanitary agency were processed and deep-sequenced (n = 144) using the Illumina® platform, with pa
