Our prior thread digesting this work is available here. The key findings are the same from the preprint, but there's a boatload of new analyses for corroboration and interpretation of this new biomarker.

Excited to share a new preprint from the lab with @ryandhindsa.bsky.social ! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Led by @sherrynyeo.bsky.social, @erinmayc.bsky.social, and friends, we continue our journey to find viral DNA in our favorite place-- the overlooked and discarded reads in existing data! 1/
