Long-read shotgun metagenome sequencing using PromethION uncovers novel bacteriophages, their abundance, and interaction with host bacterial immunity in the oral microbiota
2020-03-15
Abstract excerpt
Bacteriophages (phages), or bacterial viruses, are very diverse and highly abundant worldwide, including human microbiomes. Although a few metagenomic studies have focused on oral phages, they relied on short-read sequencing. Here, we conducted a long-read metagenomic study of human saliva for the first time using PromethION that requires a smaller amount of DNA than PacBio. Our analyses, which integrated both Pro...
