My first research paper of my PhD is out as a preprint (and under review)! Here we show that: 1. bacterial conjugation systems are differentially abundant between populations and 2. they are systematically excluded from metagenomic bins. 1/

Less input DNA is a positive, but only a maximum of 10kb read lengths is less than desirable.
Infinity also enables 10x greater throughput with 90% less #DNA input than legacy long reads. We anticipate an early access launch for Infinity technology in the second half of the year.
