    Abstract: Processes are described that include computational tools for identification of unknown pathogenic organisms and other threat agents (e.g., rare variants) in samples. The processes can be conducted without specific a priori knowledge of the unknown. Identification may include fragmenting a genome from one or more candidate organisms and READs and/or CONTIGs segments for the unknown organism in silico to form fragments, and determining the statistical relevance of exact fragment matches between the sample fragments and the candidate fragments.
