The paper compares short- and long-read sequencing technologies in metagenomics, showing that longer short reads with optimal prep improve assembly and protein detection without needing more sequencing depth.

This study examines how blood and sugar meals affect the midgut microbiome of Aedes aegypti, revealing shifts in microbial diversity and function over time.

The paper evaluates MAG recovery strategies from activated sludge microbial communities, finding that co-assembly outperforms single-sample assembly and only 58 MAGs meet quality criteria.

The paper presents the reference genome of Chinese chestnut (C. mollissima) to aid in the restoration of threatened chestnut species by providing insights into disease resistance and genome evolution.

The paper describes methods to validate long read assembled genomes using short read metagenome assembled genomes and assesses correction procedures' impact on genome quality, contributing new closed genomes from wastewater bioprocesses.

The paper demonstrates that MinION long read sequencing can recover near-complete genomes from low-medium complexity microbial communities.
