Our MinION vs Illumina paper is out! We carried out DNA metabarcoding of mosquito bulk samples using MinION sequencing and benchmarked the results against the Illumina MiSeq platform, finding high congruency at species level https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fitd.2024.1223435/full Congrats Rebecca (RA) Tyrone (PhD), Huiqing (ex-PhD), annd Tze Xuan (ex-undergradate)!
