Global research alliance in infectious disease: a collaborative effort to combat infectious diseases through dissemination of portable sequencing.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To disseminate the portable sequencer MinION in developing countries for the main purpose of battling infectious diseases, we found a consortium called Global Research Alliance in Infectious Diseases (GRAID). By holding and inviting researchers both from developed and developing countries, we aim to train the participants with MinION's operations and foster a collaboration in infectious diseases researches. As a real-life example in which resources are limited, we describe here a result from a training course, a metagenomics analysis from two blood samples collected from a routine cattle surveillance in Kulan Progo District, Yogyakarta Province, Indonesia in 2019.

Results

One of the samples was successfully sequenced with enough sequencing yield for further analysi
