Exploiting Nanopore sequencing to discover what microbes eat
MicMicrobial communities play a vital role in most processes in the biosphere and are essential for solving present and future environmental challenges. Examples include the impact of the human microbiome on health and disease, the discovery of new antibiotics, and turning waste products into valuables. In the past 10 years, new DNA sequencing-based methods have revolutionized our access to the genomes of microbial communities and have sparked an explosion of new fundamental discoveries based on genomic evidence. However, despite the fundamental discoveries enabled by new methods in the past decade, we are far from having a meaningful genomic representation of the tree of life - and we are…
