DRS of total RNA extracted from three different enterovirus-positive stool samples produced long RNA fragments, covering between 59% and 99.6% of the most similar reference genome sequences. Here, we show that nanopore DRS can be used to correctly identify enterovirus genotypes from patient stool samples with high viral load and that the approach also provides rich metatranscriptomic information on sample composition for all life domains. In order to confirm genotype identification obtained via DRS and to obtain a highly accurate whole-genome enterovirus sequence, we also subjected sample E590 to cDNA sequencing using Illumina MiSeq. MiSeq sequencing library preparation was performed with stool material and following the routine diagnostic pre-treatment (as opposed to chloroform/bead treatment) given that low amount of patient stool sample was available (Figure 1 ). ./cache/cord-254596-wsmnlnlk.txt ./txt/cord-254596-wsmnlnlk.txt
