Revealing hidden microbes and scaling reference genomes: advances in biodiversity genomics
Evgeny Glazov, Kara Dicks, Steven Robbins · Oxford Nanopore Technologies · Online
Three presentations examine how long-read sequencing can improve biodiversity resources and their use in conservation and environmental decisions. Evgeny Glazov introduces amplification-free nanopore sequencing, direct detection of base modifications and flexible read lengths for natural-resource research. Kara Dicks discusses scaling bird and fish reference assemblies through the Tree of Life…
