Shallow shotgun metagenomic sequencing of vaginal microbiomes with the Oxford Nanopore technology enables the reliable determination of vaginal community state types and broad community structures
Our study demonstrated the successful application and potential advantages of Nanopore-based shallow SMS for the characterization of vaginal microbiomes and paves the way for its application in larger-scale research or diagnostic settings.
