Low Error Rate Long-Reads Enable the Identification of Long Variant Haplotypes in Metagenome Assemblies

Explore the cutting-edge advancements in metagenomic assembly through this 30-minute webinar presented by Dr. Derek Bickhart, a Research Microbiologist/Bioinformatician at the US Department of Agriculture's Dairy Forage Research Center. Delve into the challenges of separating distinct lineages of closely related organisms in microbial communities and learn how low error rate long-reads are revolutionizing the identification of long variant haplotypes in metagenome assemblies. Discover how this technology addresses limitations in DNA sequencing, particularly in dealing with highly related organisms in the same environment and species with low abundances. Gain insights into overcoming the obstacles posed by short reads and high error rates in traditional sequencing platforms.
