And we then deployed the method to a low-resource laboratory with our collaborators @thruzim.bsky.social BRTI in Zimbabwe as part of an ongoing genital ulcer study. The final assay can be performed in <2 days and costs <£13/sample.
Although here we have used T. pallidum as a model, we think this approach has broad applications for larger pathogen genomes (bacterial, fungal, parasite), and we hope others can make use of these approaches for different pathogens.
