Performing accurate species-level bacterial identification with nanopore sequencing

Overview

16S sequencing is the predominant method for microbial identification and has a wide range of applications, including food safety, environmental and conservation monitoring, pathogen detection, and clinical microbiology. Nanopore sequencing can span the full 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene in a single read for accurate species identification from polymicrobial samples.

This end-to-end workflow provides a rapid solution for species-level bacterial identification.
