Microbiome sequencing

Simplify genome assembly
The study of microbiomes — the genetic material of all microorganisms in a given sample — is providing new insights into a diverse range of research areas, such as human health and disease, crop improvement, food safety, and species conservation.
Microorganisms and their interactions have a profound effect on their environments, and it is only now, through the advent of Oxford Nanopore sequencing, that we are able to fully characterise microbiome samples — not only identifying each individual microbe but also generating complete, closed genome assemblies and elucidating gene expression within microbial communities.
