Evaluating Nanopore read trimming and quality filtering in bacterial genomics
Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) sequencing is widely used in bacterial genomics, particularly for reference-based variant calling and de novo assembly. Both analyses routinely start with quality control (QC) preprocessing, but as ONT basecalling accuracy has improved, its necessity and downstream trade-offs remain poorly defined. We benchmarked 17 preprocessing combinations, built from three…
