If you haven't refreshed your view of ONT with recent data you are miscalibrated: "A few years ago, a good ONT-only bacterial genome assembly would contain hundreds to thousands of errors" - "ONT-only bacterial genome assemblies now regularly have <10 errors"
New blog post:
rrwick.github.io/2024/06/11/…
ONT-only bacterial assemblies are much better than they were only a couple of years ago. Often <10 errors in the whole genome. Does that mean that less short-read sequencing is required for polishing? See my post for the answer!

3 DIPLOMICS node labs received their @nanopore P2 Solo sequencers this last week!
We cant wait to see what UPGL, SAIAB-AGRP and UWC-SCGP do next - Happy sequencing :)

Analysis of anything, by anyone, anywhere as the goal of Oxford @nanopore seems an interesting approach to bringing sequencing technology closer to the Researcher.
Great Introduction to Oxford Nanopore Technologies at The Oxford Nanopore Seminar today @WACCBIP_UG

Literally cannot get over the jump in quality from 112 to 114 on @nanopore MK1c. Beautiful run, no refueling, just gorgeous green screens. Second pic is at 3h. Are Kit14 flongles like this also? Checking soon. #insitulab @JhakelinReyes - more on this run soon.
