Overview
Genome sequences for ~490,000 microbial strains are now publicly available; however, due to the limitations of traditional short-read sequencing technologies, approximately 90% of bacterial genome assemblies are considered to be incomplete. Download this white paper to discover how the long, real-time sequencing reads delivered by nanopore sequencing overcome these challenges to deliver affordable, reference-quality genome assemblies from microbial isolates and metagenomic samples.
