A simplified flow chart of the sample collection process. Three healthy individuals were enrolled; saliva was collected as drooling or mouthwash. The samples were divided into three groups depending on the type of saliva-preservation methods (OMNIgene, DNA/RNA shield, or simple collection). Twenty samples (18 from healthy individuals and 2 mock samples) were collected and sequenced. NGS next-generation sequencing.
