Enhance genome assemblies
Metagenomics is the genomic analysis of multiple organisms from a single sample, revealing insight into the genetic composition of microbial communities. Any-length nanopore reads deliver enhanced genome assemblies, accurate identification of closely related species, and resolve mobile genetic elements from metagenomic samples.
With Oxford Nanopore sequencing, real-time data streaming unlocks immediate access to results, such as species identification, relative abundance, and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) analysis. Furthermore, combining long reads with targeted approaches enables sequencing of informative genes, such as 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) in their entirety, improving resolution of identification.
