Enhanced microbial profiling and metagenomics with nanopore sequencing


Metagenomic analyses with long nanopore reads can enhance our understanding of microbes and their interactions with the environment — from bacteria in human intestines to microbes in our oceans.

During this webinar, we heard how nanopore sequencing recovers microbial genomes from isolates or metagenomic samples, providing insights into the roles of microbes in health, disease, and ecosystems. Dr Tianyuan Zhang discussed his work on generating highly accurate microbial community profiles at species-level resolution using full-length nanopore 16S rRNA sequencing. We then heard from Dr Steven Batinovic, who highlighted new nanopore sequencing workflows for the thorough characterisation of bacterial, fungal, and yeast genomes from isolates or metagenomic samples.
