Mind the Gap: New Full-Length Sequences of <i>Blastocystis</i> Subtypes Generated via Oxford Nanopore Minion Sequencing Allow for Comparisons between Full-Length and Partial Sequences of the Small Subunit of the Ribosomal RNA Gene

Mind the Gap: New Full-Length Sequences of <i>Blastocystis</i> Subtypes Generated via Oxford Nanopore Minion Sequencing Allow for Comparisons between Full-Length and Partial Sequences of the Small Subunit of the Ribosomal RNA Gene

<i>Blastocystis</i> is a common food- and water-borne intestinal protist parasite of humans and many other animals. <i>Blastocystis</i> comprises multiple subtypes (STs) based on variability within the small subunit ribosomal (<i>SSU</i> rRNA) RNA gene. Though ful...
