Metagenomic data and HHV-6 reads from clinical samples
In order to investigate how a metagenomics pipeline might be applied to routine clinical diagnostics, we screened 20 clinical samples (10 respiratory and 10 CSF) using a metagenomic next generation sequencing approach (Illumina HiSeq).  We used human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) as an exemplar organism, seeking to identify samples in which viral DNA could be detected.  The sequences submitted here are the full metagenomic read sets for all 20 samples, and the HHV-6 reads from the samples deemed likely to be positive (these were defined based on the number of reads, and on reads distributed across the viral genome).
