Optimizing sequencing protocols for leaderboard metagenomics by combining long and short reads.

As metagenomic studies move to increasing numbers of samples, communities like the human gut may benefit more from the assembly of abundant microbes in many samples, rather than the exhaustive assembly of fewer samples. We term this approach leaderboard metagenome sequencing. To explore protocol optimization for leaderboard metagenomics in real samples, we introduce a benchmark of library prep and sequencing using internal references generated by synthetic long-read technology, allowing us to evaluate high-throughput library preparation methods against gold-standard reference genomes derived from the samples themselves. We introduce a low-cost protocol for high-throughput library preparation and sequencing

The Geology of Western Ireland: A Record of the ‘Birth’ and ‘Death’ of the Iapetus Ocean

This chapter reviews the evidence found in the remarkable and varied geology of western Ireland (Fig. 1) for the opening and the closing of the Iapetus Ocean adjacent to the Laurentian margin. The geology visited is briefly reviewed along with a short summary of its likely tectonic significance
