For microbiome, we enable methylation binning using @nanopore seq plasmid mapping misassemblies detection. We found abundant 5mC motifs, suggesting previous underestimation and many new research opportunities. BTW. We're hiring, join us?! Full Ad: bit.ly/3mmskME 3/3

Bacterial 6mA & 4mC studies in the past 10 yrs mainly powered by @PacBio seq. NanoDisco now enables the use of @nanopore seq for de novo 6mA, 4mC & 5mC motif discovery (Software bit.ly/3mkoS5g). The two platforms are still complementary as discussed in our new paper. 2/3
