Nanopore 16s long reads #127

Open jemimahair opened 2 months ago

jemimahair commented 2 months ago

My name is Jemima and I recently started a PhD working on stool and vaginal samples from a clinical trial in SSA. I am currently working on sequencing the full 16s gene on nanopore platform. I have seen in the chats that other people have asked whether the mothur pipeline can be adapted for this purpose. It has been a few years since these comments and I wondered if you had any updates/ whether you think its possible since the error rate has improved significantly?

Also, if you still would like mock community data, we only run the Zymo, but happy to share if this is of interest to you?

I'm working on this at UConn MARS. Once I have a functioning process in mothur, I'll share it.
