13. Comparison of Metagenomic Sequencing and the NanoString nCounter Analysis System for Characterization of Bacterial and Viral Communities in Vaginal Samples

Introduction: DNA sequencing assays have been used to characterize the vaginal microbiome and identify associations with reproductive outcomes. These assays are useful but can be prohibitively expensive and time consuming. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the utility of the NanoString nCounter platform, a more efficient assay compared to sequencing, for characterization of […]
