Multi-platform whole genome sequencing for tuberculosis clinical and surveillance applications

Abstract excerpt

Whole genome sequencing (WGS) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis offers valuable insights for tuberculosis (TB) control. High throughput platforms like Illumina and Oxford Nanopore Technology (ONT) are increasingly used globally, although ONT is known for higher error rates and is less established for genomic studies. Here we present a study comparing the sequencing outputs of both Illumina and ONT platforms,...
