Tiled Amplicon Sequencing Enables Culture-free Whole-Genome Sequencing of Pathogenic Bacteria From Clinical Specimens https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.12.19.629550v1

Finally got on Bluesky to share some work I'm really proud of...

Using a tiled amplicon approach, we were able to sequence TB directly from sputum, without culture. This could help make WGS of TB (which can take weeks to culture) much faster at a similar price point to widespread SC2 sequencing.
Sharing our work expanding SARS-CoV-2 style tiled amplicon sequencing for whole bacteria genomes directly from clinical samples, showing examples with M.tb (>4 mb) and Strep pneumo (>2 mb).
