DNA isolation methods for Nanopore sequencing of the Streptococcus mitis genome
16 Feb 2022
Abstract excerpt
Streptococcus mitis is a Gram-positive bacterium, member of the oral commensal microbiota, which can occasionally be the etiologic agent of diseases such as infective endocarditis, bacteraemia and septicaemia. The highly recombinogenic and repetitive nature of the S. mitis genome impairs the assembly of a complete genome relying only on short sequencing reads. Oxford Nanopore sequencing can overcome this...
