a EOPs of TB34 and T7 tested against E. coli DH5α pBrxXLSty WT and mutants, with E. coli DH5α pTRB507 as control. Values are mean EOPs from triplicate data, shown with standard deviation. b Detection of GATCAG N6mA motifs from genomic DNA of E. coli DH5α pBrxXLSty WT and mutants, with E. coli DH5α pTRB507 (and whole genome amplified samples thereof) as controls. Data obtained using MinION and Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) sequencing.
