Library strategies differentially shape microbial, functional, and host signals in clinical metagenomic sequencing

ABSTRACT Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) is increasingly used in infectious disease diagnostics, yet how library preparation shapes the microbial, functional, and host signals recovered from clinical samples remains poorly defined. Here, we performed a within-sample parallel comparison of three mNGS libra...

Current State-of-the-Art of NGS in Soil Microbial Ecology Interpreted Through the Hierarchical Environmental Filtering (HEF) Framework

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has transformed soil microbial ecology by revealing taxonomic and functional diversity that was largely inaccessible through cultivation-based approaches. However, greater sequencing resolution alone does not explain why particular microbial assemblages repeatedly emerge under specific...

Make it so: Rapid and affordable plasmid sequencing on ONT platforms with PICARD-seq

Plasmid construction underpins molecular biology and synthetic biology, yet validation is often limited to the inserted fragment rather than the whole plasmid, and around a third of laboratory-made plasmids carry sequence errors that can affect function. Sanger sequencing scales poorly across whole plasmids, while shor...
