Research question
1. Can the O-150 LAMP assay be established on whole blood? 2. Can the O-150 qPCR methodology be adapted for human sampling?
Secondary
1. How does the performance of the O-150 LAMP compare to the O-150 qPCR assay?
2. What threshold be used to define positive vs negative results for both assays?
3. Can deep sequencing reveal over potential biomarkers for further investigation?
