Long-read sequencing reveals putatively mobilizable resistance genes and multi-drug resistance plasmids underestimated by short-read metagenomics

While shotgun metagenomics is often used to profile antibiotic resistome in gut microbial communities, few studies have investigated if the choice of sequencing platform and assembly strategy affect what mobile genetic elements and antimicrobial resistance genes are recovered. In this study, we compared three platforms...
