What Is Bacterial Genome Sequencing?
Bacterial genome sequencing (BGS) is a sequencing method used to characterize bacterial pathogens. This methodology provides insights into virulence, antibiotic resistance, and other properties important to researchers.
Why Is Bacterial Genome Sequencing Important?
Bacterial diseases are a major cause of illness and morbidity in humans and animals. Increased incidence of antibiotic resistance makes it important to identify mutations and develop additional treatments.
Long reads are a valuable tool for bacterial genome sequencing. R10.4.1 flow cells can generate near-complete bacterial genomes. This eliminates the need for short-read assembly, which can struggle to resolve highly repetitive regions.
