Genome-centric Metagenomics

Mads Albertsen, Associate Professor at Aalborg University, presented at the Nanopore Community Meeting 2017 on “Genome-centric metagenomics in the long-read era.” Albertsen talked about how we live in a bacterial world. However, only a small fraction can be grown. Single-cell genomics is challenging. Metagenomics has the potential to separate genomes through binning. Now you can […]
