Large insights into microorganisms

Written by Oxford Nanopore

Due to the limitations of traditional short-read sequencing technologies, approximately 90% of bacterial genome assemblies are considered to be incomplete.

Using the long-read capabilities of real-time nanopore sequencing, microbiologists are able to overcome these challenges – delivering affordable, reference-quality genome assemblies from microbial isolates and metagenomic samples and shedding new light on microbial evolution, pathogenicity, and antimicrobial resistance.

Read this White Paper to explore how microbiologists are now utilizing the long-read capabilities of real-time nanopore sequencing to overcome the limitations of short-read sequencing technologies and fully characterize microbial genomes.
