Loman Lab Mock Community Experiments


We sequenced two commercially-available mock communities containing ten microbial species (ZymoBIOMICS Microbial Community Standards) with Oxford Nanopore GridION and PromethION. We generated 14 and 16 Gbp from two GridION flowcells and 150 and 153 Gbp from two PromethION flowcells for the evenly-distributed and log-distributed communities respectively. Read length N50 ranged between 5.3 Kbp and 5.4 Kbp over the four sequencing runs. Basecalls and corresponding signal data are made available (4.2 TB in total).
