Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of selectively amplifying at least one nucleic acid sequence of at least one microorganism and/or virus in a sample of a subject, wherein k-mers 3 are applied that show a difference in frequency and/or context in the genome 2 of the at least one microorganism and/or virus compared to the genome of the subject 1.
