closeNo evidence of identification of pathogens
Posted by jeisen on 09 Oct 2015 at 03:18 GMT
The authors do not present any evidence that they have detected actual pathogens in these samples. At best they may have been able to say that they have sequences that are related to sequences from pathogens. But in most if not all cases, such sequences would also be realted to those from non pathogenic strains of the same species.

Definitely substantial amount of pathogen is conditionally. And what important in our paper is that we concentrated on the network and the speed of the screen method, then combined with other methods for further study if necessary. Table 7 just from literature, however, it was the working style of high-throughput screening. Considering how many hospitals in a city, how many population condensed commercial centers, subways and custom airports need such fast high-throughput monitoring network. In the future, everyday thousands of filter papers will be mailed to a central lab for sequencing, experts look through the results to issue a warning or a precaution. This possibly the future picture of a city’s health monitoring. We firmly believe this picture is more meaningful than just a few Nobel prize laureates shrank in an extraordinarily advanced equipped lab discuss the high cost accuracy of a pathogen. Although the latter is still in need. Technological network is really more powerful than any pointed address.
