Simultaneous amplicon analysis of multiple soil samples using MinION sequencing

The diversity and composition of soil microorganisms needs to be understood as they influence ecosystem processes. MinION is a relatively recent next-generation sequencer, which provides the advantage of sequencing long reads. In this study, two types of soil were prepared experimentally to investig...
