Abstract

Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) has emerged as a potentially powerful tool in clinical diagnosis, hospital epidemiology, microbial evolutionary biology, and studies of host-pathogen interaction. The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic provides a framework for demonstrating the applications of this technology in each of these areas. In this Supplement, we review applications of mNGS within the discipline of pediatric infectious diseases.
