Long read only genome sequencing and assemblies


We sequenced a bacterial genome de novo using both MinION and PacBio sequencing technologies. Long read only assemblies were produced and polished using different pipelines. Assembly accuracy was benchmarked using Illumina paired-end reads from the same sample. We found that data analysis pipelines had significant influence on the amount of residual errors in long read only assemblies.
