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 reprocesses SARS-CoV-2 genomic data to correct systematic errors in phylogenies using a novel assembly tool, resulting in a cleaner global tree of 4.47 million samples.

The paper shows that E. coli phylogeny influences blaTEM-1 expression and co-amoxiclav resistance through lineage-specific regulatory differences.

This paper compares direct cDNA and PCR-cDNA Nanopore sequencing of E. coli isolates, finding PCR-based amplification improves yield but introduces minor GC-content bias.

This study quantifies antibiotic resistance in tuberculosis using genomic data and MIC measurements to identify genetic determinants of resistance and hypersensitivity across multiple drugs.

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.

This paper evaluates the performance of new Oxford Nanopore flowcells and chemistries for bacterial genome reconstruction, finding that while R10.4/Kit12 with 'super accuracy' basecalling shows promise, hybrid assembly remains more robust and cost-effective.
