Metagenomic sequencing with Oxford Nanopore
The rapid and significant decrease in sequencing costs has accelerated the field of metagenomics in recent years, enabling substantial progress in our understanding across a wide range of applications, from clinical research and outbreak surveillance, to biofuel development and crop selection. The development of metagenomic sequencing has allowed the rapid identification and analysis of culturable microorganisms, and, importantly, has made possible the analysis of those microbes that cannot be cultured.
In this guide, you will learn more about:
- The advantages of nanopore technology for metagenomic sequencing
- The comparison between 16S and whole-genome sequencing (WGS) approaches
- How to best extract high-quality DNA from a sample
