Microbiome sequencing has long relied on methods like shotgun metagenomics and short-read metabarcoding approaches such as 16S rRNA sequencing. While effective, these paradigms often face limitations like fragmented assemblies, loss of strain-level resolution, and partial gene profiling.
In this session, Jim Shaw, a researcher at Harvard Medical School and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, introduces two powerful tools designed to overcome these challenges using any length nanopore reads.
Watch the video to learn how these innovations unlock complete genomes and precise taxonomic insights, redefining the standards for microbiome research.
