Assembling high-quality plant genomes with Oxford Nanopore


Image of plant assembly workflow

Overview

High-quality plant genome assemblies are critical for advancing research and agricultural biotechnology to inform conservation strategies and to improve crops for sustainable productivity, but they are typically difficult to sequence. However, nanopore technology can easily sequence large and complex plant genomes due to nanopore reads of unrestricted read length.

This end-to-end workflow introduces how to generate a high-quality plant genome assembly from a leaf sample.

In this workflow overview, you will:

  • Find out how long nanopore reads enhance plant genome assemblies
  • Discover our best practice sequencing workflow as an introduction to generating high-quality plant genome assemblies
  • Learn about our recommended sequencing kit and devices
