Metagenome sequencing of skin lesions
The sample was processed using a shotgun metagenomic approach. Briefly, sample was collected from skin lesions of a patient, and was subjected to whole viral DNA extraction using Zymo Research Quick-DNA Miniprep kit as per manufacturer's instructions. The extracted whole viral DNA was processed for library preparation using the Illumina DNA Prep kit. Subsequently, sequencing was performed on an Illumina iSeq instrument using iSeq 100 i1 Reagent v2 to generate the raw sequencing reads.
