Fig. 1: Mock community analysis.

MinION sequencing followed by MEGAN taxonomic classification of a simple mock community. a Taxonomic classification following 16S and whole metagenome (WMGS) sequencing. Also shown are expected relative abundances. b De novo assembly of genomes by the canu assembler, followed by mapping back to original known genomes, to illustrate coverage at 97% identity. 4 genomes, with 6 plasmids illustrated, of which 4 genomes and 5 plasmids had sequences aligned at 97% identity.
