RNA-Seq of conjunctival swab sample: non-host reads
Non-host reads were produced in three filter steps: 1) Removal of any reads aligned to hg38 + Pan reference genome using STAR aligner and 2) bowtie2 aligner. 3) Removal of all reads that mapped to the following taxIDs (and their descendants) using Centrifuge classifier: 7711, 6340, 6656, 2157, 33090, 81077. Resulting fasta files were converted to fastq with dummy Q-scores of 40.
