Exploring Plant Biodiversity with the Flongle

I am starting to watch older Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) videos to prepare background information for the course we are developing. Tonight, I watched a session by Rob Harbert from Stonehill College. The title of the presentation was “Monitoring plant biodiversity in aquatic eDNA with low-cost Oxford Nanopore Flongle sequencing.”They used the Flongle for metabarcoding. […]
