New method and model address blindspot towards uncommon species in mixed samples

For higher accuracy and more effective microbial diagnostics, researchers at the Earlham Institute have evaluated a new approach to analyse metagenomic samples that may contain low numbers of certain species - helping to prevent crucial genomic information from being overlooked or lost.

When one become two: separating DNA for more accurate nanopore analysis

A new software tool developed by Earlham Institute researchers will help bioinformaticians improve the quality and accuracy of their biological data, and avoid mis-assemblies.
