Article Title: Ultra-accurate Microbial Amplicon Sequencing Directly from Complex Samples with Synthetic Long Reads
doi: 10.1101/2020.07.07.192286
Figure Lengend Snippet: The fraction of error-free amplicon sequencing reads of different lengths using commercially available long-read sequencing technologies. Points represent observations from measurements of defined communities (the Zymo mock community) or single-strain isolates (fungal and bacterial isolates) that were reported in this manuscript for LoopSeq, and that were reported in for PacBio CCS reads. The 16S rRNA and fungal 18S-ITS data is from traditional amplicon sequencing of a single genetic region (Methods). The LoopSeq genomic amplicon data is based on LoopSeq sequencing of randomly amplified regions of the genome of several bacteria (Methods). Lines represent the expected error-free fraction based on measurements of the error rates in 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing data, and assuming a constant per-base error rate. The Oxford Nanopore line is based on the per-base error-rate of 6% reported by the manufacturer for the R10 chemistry.
Article Snippet: Loop Genomics has recently commercialized synthetic long-read amplicon sequencing under the LoopSeq product line which is available both as a kit and a laboratory service (Loop Genomics, CA).
