Genome-resolved ecology and evolution of the microbiome enabled by quantitative long-read metagenomics

Standard metagenomics resolves microbial communities only in relative terms and at coarse taxonomic resolution, obscuring how individual strains change in absolute abundance and evolve within a host. We present long-read quantiomics (LRQ), a quantitative metagenomics platform coupling long-read sequencing with plasmid-based internal standards to recover high-quality genomes, including from…
