The development of metagenomics next-generation sequencing (mNGS) has enabled the exploration of whole viral nucleic acids within a clinical sample (human virome) in order to detect pathogens not targeted by conventional PCR and to identify emerging viruses [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] . The aim of this study was to compare two automated extraction platforms commonly used in diagnostic laboratories, the eMAG (bioMérieux, Marcy-l Étoile, France) and the MagNA Pure 24 (MP24) (Roche, Basel, Switzerland), and one manual QIAamp Viral RNA Mini Kit extraction (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany), which is among one of the most popular methods used in research laboratories. ./cache/cord-328768-2qk884x2.txt ./txt/cord-328768-2qk884x2.txt
