Optimizing sequencing protocols for leaderboard metagenomics by combining long and short reads

Abstract As metagenomic studies move to increasing numbers of samples, communities like the human gut may benefit more from the assembly of abundant microbes in many samples, rather than the exhaustive assembly of fewer samples. We term this approach leaderboard metagenome sequencing. To explore pro...
