As early as 2013, independent reports demonstrated that methylated cytosines (5mC and 5hmC) in DNA could be distinguished from native cytosine by the characteristic current signals measured using the MspA nanopore172,173. 49). Indeed, ONT sequencing is useful for detecting specific species and strains (for example, virulent ones) from microbiome samples given the unambiguous mappability of longer reads, which provides accurate estimates of microbiome composition compared to the conventional studies relying on 16S rRNA and DNA amplicons57,206. Method Advantages Disadvantages Ref Comments Second-generation sequencing techniques 454 sequencing . The ability to directly detect DNA modifications using ONT data has enabled the simultaneous capture of genomic (that is, copy number variation) and epigenomic (that is, 5mC) alterations using only ONT data from brain tumor samples193.
