Microbiome analysis

Long nanopore sequencing reads, such as Oxford nanopore sequencing, deliver enhanced genome assemblies, accurate identification of closely related species, and unambiguous analysis of full-length RNA transcripts from mixed microbial samples.

Advantages:

• Abundance measure without PCR bias
• Rapid workflow allowing multiplexing
• Targeted long read approaches for informative genes (16S rRNA)
• Direct DNA or RNA sequencing enables base modification identification

Applications:

• Gut microbiome
• Marine microbiome
• Microbiome culture characterization
