Nanopore GridION and PromethION Mock Microbial Community Data Community Release

R10 Data Release (2019-02-28)

We are pleased to be able to release prototype R10 pore data for the even Zymo mock community generated on the Oxford Nanopore GridION. This data is from the even mock community and has been generated in the same manner as previous releases, except that this material is from PCR-amplified material.

The R10 pore is expected to give better discrimination in homopolymer regions and preliminary analysis suggests it improves consensus-level accuracy (see Jared Simpson's talk at NCM18 for early results: https://vimeo.com/306201411). This dataset is made available without restriction for community analysis. We anticipate releasing detailed analysis in the near future.

Summary stats:

  • Reads: 4.23M
  • Bases: 16.59Gb
  • Read length N50: 4,620bp

Signal files were basecalled using Guppy 2.3.1+1b9405b using a pre-release basecalling model R10_flipflop_model.json.

We thank Rosemary Dokos, Chris Wright, Jon Pugh and Jayne Wallace from Oxford Nanopore Technologies for their help and assistance with preparation of this dataset.

Release 2 (2018-10-17)

We recently released data for the Zymo mock community (1 run on PromethION, 3 runs on MinION). However, we found that our previous bead-based DNA extraction which focused on the bacterial cell pellet from the Zymo mock community resulted in under-representation of the Gram-negative bacteria in the sample. Additionally, during this work, the composition of the Zymo mock community changed.

Therefore we have repeated the sequencing of the most recent Zymo log and even community samples on the GridION and PromethION. In this case we prepared libraries simultaneously, incorporating both the pellet extraction and the supernatant to try to recover all species equally.

We loaded the same libraries on GridION and PromethION, permitting a direct comparison of these two instruments to be made.
