We want to explore the metabolic interactions among gut bacteria, when the human host eats different foods - maybe this explain partly the Enterosignature structure?

How do you long-read sequence metagenomes? I would argue it starts with the right sample storage & DNA extraction, to enable efficient @nanoporetech.com /@pacbio.bsky.social sequencing, which we investigated in our new paper: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
