摘要

Direct sequencing of DNA from environmental samples (eDNA) is increasingly utilized to provide a census of natural and industrial habitats. The methodology required to perform metagenomics can be divided into three distinct stages: DNA Purification, Library Preparation and Sequencing, and Bioinformatic Analysis. Here we demonstrate an end-to-end protocol that can be utilized either in the field or laboratory for metagenomic analysis of environmental samples utilizing the Oxford Nanopore Technologies MinION sequencing platform.
