  1. Illustration of target sequence comparison with FDA-ARGOS reference genomes for diagnostic performance testing. This table shows the traditional benchmark comparison of the EBOV MIPS assay to real-time PCR (RT-PCR) results and target sequence comparison with FDA-ARGOS using three bioinformatics tools (MegaBLAST, Kraken, and LMAT). Benchmark positive values were only noted for samples that yielded duplicative positive results by RT-PCR (bolded). Percent reads classified only refer to percentage of reads that were assigned to Zaire ebolavirus Makona, the remaining reads are non-specific
