INDUSTRY MATTERS environmental sample , at much fewer reads than DNA and RNA shotgun workflows . Combined with optimized concentration and extraction methods , NGS delivers efficient , comprehensive genomic coverage compared to quantitative PCR methods . As bottlenecks to routine implementation of wastewater-based surveillance are addressed via technical advances , crosssector collaborations , data standards development , and sustained funding and policy support , there is untapped potential for NGS to provide an improved understanding of pathogen circulation at the population level . g
