Using Nanopore Sequencing to Obtain Complete Bacterial Genomes from Saliva Samples
Jonathon L. Baker
Abstract
being the first complete genomes from their respective taxa. Obtaining complete bacterial genomes in a high-throughput manner will help illuminate the metabolic and ecological roles of important members of the human microbiota, particularly those that have remained recalcitrant to isolation and cultivation.
