Long-read metagenomics reveals phage dynamics in the human gut microbiome - Nature
Complex prophage integration dynamics, including low-level induction, cross-family host range and transposase-mediated mobilization, challenge existing paradigms and deepen our understanding of phage–...

Preprint out for myloasm, our new nanopore / HiFi metagenome assembler!
Nanopore's getting accurate, but
1. Can this lead to better metagenome assemblies?
2. How, algorithmically, to leverage them?
