ABSTRACT Bacterial plasmids play a major role in the spread of antibiotic resistance genes. However, their characterization via DNA sequencing suffers from low abundance plasmid those samples. Although sample preparation methods can enrich proportion before sequencing, these are expensive and laborious, they might introduce bias by enriching only for specific sequences. Nanopore adaptive sampling could overcome issues rejecting uninteresting molecules during process. In this study, we assess application enrichment low-abundant known bacterial isolates using two different tools. We show that significant be achieved even on expired flow cells. By applying sampling, also improve quality de novo assemblies reduce time. our experiments highlight with if target non-target sequences span similar regions. IMPORTANCE Antimicrobial causes millions deaths every year. Mobile genetic elements like key drivers dissemination antimicrobial This makes an important tool clinical microbiologists. Since often underrepresented samples, challenging laborious. To accelerate process, evaluate nanopore as silico method plasmids. Our results potential cost-efficient future research but indicate arise reference

Transcriptomic long-read (LR) sequencing is an increasingly cost-effective technology for probing various RNA features. Numerous tools have been developed to tackle transcriptomic tasks (e.g. isoform and gene fusion detection). However, the lack of abundant gold-standard datasets hinders benchmarking such tools. Therefore, simulation LR important practical alternative. While existing simulators aim imitate machine noise target specific library protocols, they some preparation steps PCR) are difficult modify new changing techniques single-cell LRs).

Basecalling is an essential step in nanopore sequencing analysis where the raw signals of sequencers are converted into nucleotide sequences, that is, reads. State-of-the-art basecallers use complex deep learning models to achieve high basecalling accuracy. This makes computationally inefficient and memory-hungry, bottlenecking entire genome pipeline. However, for many applications, most reads do not match reference interest (i.e., target reference) thus discarded later steps genomics pipeline, wasting computation. To overcome this issue, we propose TargetCall, first pre-basecalling filter eliminate wasted computation basecalling. TargetCall’s key idea discard will off-target reads) prior TargetCall consists two main components: (1) LightCall, a lightweight neural network basecaller produces noisy reads, (2) Similarity Check, which labels each these as on-target or by matching them reference. Our thorough experimental evaluations show 1) improves end-to-end runtime performance state-of-the-art 3.31× while maintaining id="m2">(98.88%) recall keeping 2) maintains accuracy downstream analysis, 3) achieves better performance, throughput, recall, precision, generality than works. available at https://github.com/CMU-SAFARI/TargetCall .

Abstract Motivation The Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) ReadUntil API enables selective sequencing, which aims to selectively favor interesting over uninteresting reads, e.g. deplete or enrich certain genomic regions. performance gain depends on the sequencing decision-making algorithm (SSDA) decides whether reject a read, stop receiving wait for more data. Since real runs are time-consuming and costly, simulating ONT sequencer with support is highly beneficial comparing optimizing new SSDAs. Existing software like MinKNOW UNCALLED only return raw signal data, memory-intensive, require huge often unavailable multi-fast5 files (≥100GB) not clearly documented. Results We present device simulator SimReadUntil that takes set of full reads as input, distributes them channels plays back in time including mux scans, channel gaps blockages, allows well data from them. Our modified provides basecalled rather than signal, reducing computational load focusing SSDA basecalling. Tuning parameters tools ReadFish ReadBouncer becomes easier because GPU basecalling no longer required. offer various methods extract simulation summary file adapt replicate one their enrichment experiments.
