Precision metagenomics sequencing for food safety: hybrid assembly of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli in enriched agricultural water

Culture-independent metagenomic sequencing of enriched agricultural water could expedite the detection and virulotyping of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC). We previously determined the limits of a complete, closed metagenome-assembled genome (MAG) assembly and of a complete, fragmented...
