A comparison of short- and long-read whole genome sequencing for microbial pathogen epidemiology
2025-02-17
Abstract excerpt
Whole genome sequencing provides the highest resolution for characterizing pathogen evolution, epidemiology, and diagnostics. Genome assemblies contain information on the identity and potential phenotypes of a pathogen. Likewise, variant calling can inform on transmission patterns and evolutionary relationships. Recent improvements in Oxford Nanopore long-read sequencing have made its use attractive for genomic ep...
