A Highly Contiguous Genome Assembly of Arthrinium puccinoides

Trine Sorensen et al.

Summary: The phylogenetic relationship of the Arthrinium genus has been reevaluated and it is now known that it is distinct from the Apiospora genus. In this study, the first genome of the Arthrinium genus was sequenced, revealing a high number of genes and potential secondary metabolites. This genome sequence is valuable for further understanding the Arthrinium clade and for the discovery of novel secondary metabolites that may have applications in the food, agricultural, or pharmaceutical industry.

Oxford Nanopore R10.4 long-read sequencing enables the generation of near-finished bacterial genomes from pure cultures and metagenomes without short-read or reference polishing

Mantas Sereika et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that near-finished microbial genomes can be generated using only Oxford Nanopore R10.4 data, without the need for short-read or reference polishing. This finding simplifies the microbial genome sequencing process and improves the accuracy and continuity of sequencing results.

Aspergillus fumigatus pan-genome analysis identifies genetic variants associated with human infection

Amelia E. Barber et al.

Summary: The study identified the pan-genome of Aspergillus fumigatus using 300 globally sampled genomes, with findings showing the presence of core genes in all isolates alongside variability in 16-22% of the genome. Clinical isolates were found to be enriched in a genetic cluster with more accessory genes related to transporters, iron-binding activity, and metabolism. Genome-wide association studies revealed genetic variation associated with human infection and drug resistance, providing insight into potential therapeutic targets.

Sequencing error profiles of Illumina sequencing instruments

Nicholas Stoler et al.

Summary: This study developed a method to retrospectively determine the error rate of public sequencing datasets, finding that expensive platforms have lower error rates and less variation, but there is significant variation within each platform, with experiment accuracy depending greatly on the experimenter. The importance of sequence context and differences in sequence bias patterns between instruments were also highlighted.
