A hybrid and cost-efficient barcoding strategy for full-length 16S rRNA gene nanopore sequencing of environmental samples

Accurate species-level identification of bacteria in complex environmental samples is essential for applications in biotechnology, ecological monitoring, and clinical diagnostics. Short-read platforms such as Illumina frequently truncate the 16S rRNA gene, limiting taxonomic resolution. In this work, we applied Oxford...
