High-Quality Genome Assembly Tools by Oxford Nanopore

We often use Oxford nanopore reads for de novo assembly of genomes and plasmids. Sean Mckenzie, Associate Director of Genomic Applications Bioinformatics with Oxford Nanopore Technologies, provided an update on assembly performance. They described de novo assembly as “the process of reconstructing an organism’s genome sequence from a set of genomic sequencing reads.” There are […]
