This paper evaluates standalone Oxford Nanopore sequencing for foodborne pathogen surveillance, showing it can achieve high accuracy with quality control tools like alpaqa.

This study uses whole-genome sequencing of Vibrio cholerae isolates from Africa to assess genomic diversity and antimicrobial resistance, highlighting the utility of WGS for enhanced surveillance.

This study develops methods to determine if pathogens come from natural environments or laboratory culturing using genomic data and machine learning, identifying mutations as signatures of laboratory culturing.
