capture-based sequencing of longitudinally collected urban sewage samples from European cities
Urban sewage water surveillance can be used to monitor virus spread and diversity. A key challenge is to perform sewage surveillance for a broad range of known and unknown viruses, as this requires sensitive next-generation sequencing workflows and complex bioinformatic analysis. By applying capture-based Illumina sequencing to longitudinally collected urban sewage samples from 5 European cities,  a plethora of viruses can be found and in depth-analysis for specific viruses can be performed.
