[Jun-Yi Yang] Accelerating Complete Phytoplasma Genome Assembly by Immunoprecipitation-based Enrichment and MinION-based DNA Sequencing for Comparative Analyses.

Tan, C M, et al., 2021 Frontiers in Microbiology

In this study, a method that combines immunoprecipitation-based enrichment and MinION long-read DNA sequencing was developed to solve the challenge of phytoplasma genome studies. This approach produced long reads with high mapping rates and high genomic coverage that can be combined with Illumina reads to produce complete genome assemblies with high accuracy.
