Abstract: A method for identifying non-host nucleic acid sequence using sequence data. The method of identifying non-host nucleic acid can include sequencing a sample into sequences and associating the sequences with a host genome and then exclude any sequences that are associated with the host genome. The method can then associate the sequences with any known genomes and exclude any sequences that are associated with any known genome. The remaining sequences can be used as seed sequences to assemble a non-host nucleic acid.
