Are you interested in full length 16S rRNA sequencing on @nanopore? We developed a new workflow using UMIs and R10.4+ chemistry to enable highly accurate and multiplexed microbiome profiling. This was a long road, and I’m glad to see this out! 1/4 doi.org/10.1093/pnasnexus/pg…

High accuracy meets high throughput for near full-length 16S ribosomal RNA amplicon sequencing on...

Abstract. Small subunit (SSU) ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene amplicon sequencing is a foundational method in microbial ecology. Currently, short-read platforms

Metaproteomics, metagenomics and 16S rRNA sequencing give different view on microbal communities. Methods should not be applied without an independent verification of results. @tudelft @TNWTUDelft @SIAMmicrobes @WaterRes_J sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Don’t wait to learn programming to start analyzing your genomics datasets. There are plenty of graphical user interface tools that require 0 programming knowledge. Every student deserves to experience that aha moment and the joy of discovery 😀! Here are some of my fav tools- 🧵
