B. Delgado, M. Serrano, C. Gonzalez, A. Bach, O. Gonzalez-Recio
This study compares Illumina and Oxford Nanopore sequencing for ruminal microbiome analysis, finding that ONT provides more species-level classification due to longer reads but struggles with low-abundance archaeal and eukaryotic species.
