One concern I've heard for long-read #metagenomic sequencing is the amount of DNA needed.
New Ampli-Fi protocol from #PacBio now allows as little as 1ng input for library prep - that's kind of a game changer for low biomass samples.

Unlock new possibilities in #genomics with the #PacBio Ampli-Fi protocol! Sequence ultra-limited samples, like insects and preserved specimens, with as little as 1 ng DNA. Explore how this innovation is reshaping #HiFisequencing for diverse species. 🌿🦥
