Using Nanopore Sequencing to Obtain Complete Bacterial Genomes from Saliva Samples

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: Obtaining complete and accurate genomes is crucial to the study of any organism. Previously, obtaining complete genomes of bacteria, including those of the human microbiome, frequently required isolation of the organism, as well as low-throughput, manual sequencing methods to resolve repeat regions.
