This paper develops a thermo-protection buffer to enable direct whole genome sequencing of Mycobacteria from clinical samples using Nanopore technology, achieving high coverage at low bacterial concentrations.

This study optimizes DNA extraction methods for Nanopore sequencing of Neisseria gonorrhoeae directly from urine samples to enable culture-free whole-genome reconstruction.

This study develops a workflow for high-precision variant and antimicrobial resistance calling from metagenomic Nanopore sequencing of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

This study uses metagenomic Nanopore sequencing to detect influenza virus in clinical respiratory samples, achieving high sensitivity and complete genome sequencing.

The paper identifies genomic regions in Mycobacterium tuberculosis that contribute to artefactual variation in bacterial similarity searches and proposes a method to reduce such variation.

This paper compares metagenomic sequencing using Illumina MiSeq and Oxford Nanopore MinION platforms for diagnosing prosthetic joint infections, demonstrating a real-time analysis pipeline for rapid bacterial detection.

This study shows metagenomic sequencing of sonication fluid can accurately diagnose prosthetic joint infections with high sensitivity and specificity.
