This study evaluates Nanopore long-read only genome assembly for clinical Enterobacterales isolates, finding Autocycler with Medaka polishing achieves accuracy comparable to hybrid assemblies.

The paper validates a workflow for detecting antibiotic residues and measuring water chemistry in hospital sink samples, and confirms boric acid preserves microbial and resistome composition for metagenomic sequencing.

The paper identifies mutations in SARS-CoV-2 variants that confer resistance to monoclonal antibodies by analyzing genomic data and validating their impact on antibody neutralization.

Flanker clusters gene flanking sequences to identify mobile genetic element patterns associated with antimicrobial resistance genes.
