The application discloses a method for detecting viruses and
virus replication in media based on Small-
RNA high-
throughput sequencing. The application belongs to the technical field of
virus detection, and the method for identifying
virus types in a to-be-detected sample by Small-
RNA sequencing developed by the application comprises the following steps: 1) extracting
total RNA from a virus-infected to-be-detected sample, constructing a
cDNA library, and separating
small RNA sequence fragments from the
cDNA library; 2) downloading virus sequences and classification databases from
GenBank, and comparing the
small RNA sequence fragments with virus sequence files; 3) comparing a contigs3 file with a virus
nucleic acid database, selecting sequences with the minimum e value in the comparison results in the contigs3 file, calculating the coverage of the contigs3 sequences in corresponding virus genomes, distinguishing virus information with a coverage threshold, and deducing the virus source of the
small RNA sequence.
