HiFi metagenomics: more samples, more species, more MAGs

[@PeymanDerikvand]

Does HiFi reads need preprocessing or we can start analysis with the sequences we receive from PacBio? If it needs preprocessing, which tools do you suggest?

[@PacificBiosciences]

Hi Peyman. Great question. No preprocessing is necessary for profiling or assembly, the HiFi reads are ready to use as is.
