Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a streamlined sample preparation process, VERA (Viral Enrichment by Reducing Artifacts), to tilt total genomic material in favor of DNA/RNA viral genomes. This reduction of host genomic artifacts can be completed in <8 hours from sample acquisition. Using a rapid library preparation protocol (˜15 minutes) and real-time nanopore sequencing, potential viral contamination, for example RNA viral contamination, can be identified in less than one workday from sample acquisition.
