HiFi metagenomics: more samples, more species, more MAGs

PacBio HiFi sequencing is setting a new standard for quality and resolution in metagenome sequencing thanks to significant strides in data analysis tools. New pipelines that leverage HiFi data’s unique combination of high accuracy and long read length are yielding more low abundance species with higher resolution and precision, and returning more circular, single contig metagenome assembled genomes (MAGs). Learn from expert bioinformaticians how using the right tools can up-level your metagenomics research, with cost effectiveness that may surprise you.

Watch the recording to:

  • Learn the recent advances by PacBio in shotgun metagenomics that are leading to improved results, capacity, and cost effectiveness in microbial community profiling and MAG assembly
  • Understand the importance of both high accuracy and long reads for metagenomics
  • Hear how hifiasm-meta can be utilized to obtain more HQ, complete, circular, single contig MAGs with PacBio HiFi shotgun metagenomics data
