Cook, R., Brown, N., Rihtman, B., Michniewski, S., Redgwell, T., Clokie, M., …Millard, A. (2024). The long and short of it: benchmarking viromics using Illumina, Nanopore and PacBio sequencing technologies. Microbial Genomics, 10(2), Article 0.001198. https://doi.org/10.1099/mgen.0.001198

Viral metagenomics has fuelled a rapid change in our understanding of global viral diversity and ecology. Long-read sequencing and hybrid assembly approaches that combine long- and short-read technologies are now being widely implemented in bacterial...

Viruses are the most abundant biological entities on Earth, known to be crucial components of microbial ecosystems. However, there is little information on the viral community within agricultural waste. There are currently ~ 2.7 million dairy cattle...
