If you haven't refreshed your view of ONT with recent data you are miscalibrated: "A few years ago, a good ONT-only bacterial genome assembly would contain hundreds to thousands of errors" - "ONT-only bacterial genome assemblies now regularly have <10 errors"

New blog post: rrwick.github.io/2024/06/11/… ONT-only bacterial assemblies are much better than they were only a couple of years ago. Often <10 errors in the whole genome. Does that mean that less short-read sequencing is required for polishing? See my post for the answer! (1/4)

Analysis of anything, by anyone, anywhere as the goal of Oxford @nanopore seems an interesting approach to bringing sequencing technology closer to the Researcher. Great Introduction to Oxford Nanopore Technologies at The Oxford Nanopore Seminar today @WACCBIP_UG

We use this CMI to assess the accuracy of @PacBio @illumina and @nanopore sequencing and observe something unexpected. #nanopore kit14 chemistry is more accurate than Illumina and pacbio. Using homotrimer correction we correct most CMI errors.

Literally cannot get over the jump in quality from 112 to 114 on @nanopore MK1c. Beautiful run, no refueling, just gorgeous green screens. Second pic is at 3h. Are Kit14 flongles like this also? Checking soon. #insitulab @JhakelinReyes - more on this run soon.

New Year, New @Nanopore sequencer! Our trusty MinION in the bottom for scale. Looking forward to taking this P2 Solo for a spin!
A black brushed metal P2 Solo Nanopore sequencer, the size of a cheese grater, with two positions for attaching PromethION flow cells. A MinION sequencer, size of a USB dongle, is shown in bottom for scale.
