Deskripsi

Existing long-read de novo assembly methods can partially, but not completely, separate strains. Here, the authors develop Strainberry, a metagenome assembly bioinformatic pipeline that exclusively uses longread data to accurately separate and reconstruct strain genomes from single-sample low-complexity microbiomes.
