Decoding the genome and epigenome of avian Escherichia coli strains by R10.4.1 nanopore sequencing
Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) causes colibacillosis in poultry, which is a very important disease worldwide.Despite well-documented genomic traits and diversity of APEC, its epigenomic characteristics are less understood.This study utilized the high throughput and long-read capabilities of Oxford Nanopore Technology (ONT) to elucidate th
