High-quality metagenome assembly from nanopore reads with nanoMDBG - Nature Communications

Benoit et al. present nanoMDBG, a scalable metagenome assembler for the latest ONT long reads, developed by adding error correction to metaMDBG. They demonstrate superior performance to the state-of-the-art and equivalent results to PacBio HiFi reads.
