RESEARCH SPOTLIGHT

Genome assembly of an
extensively drug-resistant pathogen
Long-read nanopore sequencing of native DNA allows the assembly of
repetitive, GC-rich bacterial genomes, resolving structural variants and
enabling thorough characterisation of antibiotic resistance genes

Arnold Bainomugisa and his team used sequencing data from a single
MinION™ Flow Cell to fully assemble the genome of an extensively drug
resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (XDR-TB) strain
