Direct Xylella fastidiosa whole genome sequencing from various plant species using targeted enrichment

J Microbiol Methods. 2023 May:208:106719. doi: 10.1016/j.mimet.2023.106719. Epub 2023 Apr 5.

Abstract

A targeted enrichment method was developed to sequence Xylella fastidiosa genomic DNA directly from plant samples. The method was evaluated on various plant species infected with different strains at different levels of contamination. After enrichment, X. fastidiosa genome coverage was above 99.9% for all tested samples.

Keywords: Capture; Illumina sequencing; SureSelect; Whole genome; Xylella fastidiosa.
