Milestone - Assembly support for long-read sequence data (2.13) #451

Closed ssarrafan closed 9 months ago

ssarrafan commented 1 year ago

Support for metagenome assembly of long-read sequence data Over the past several years, the JGI has increasingly supported metagenome sequencing with the PacBio platform because library preparation methods have improved and lower inputs of DNA are supported (19). Long-read sequencing provides vastly improved metagenome assemblies, moving closer to reconstruction of complete, closed genomes from microbiome samples. The NMDC will coordinate with the JGI for a PacBio assembly workflow, and develop a new WDL workflow that will be standardized to work with downstream workflows, such as metagenome annotation. In addition, we will identify existing projects with PacBio data for benchmarking purposes (Milestone 2.13).
