Background: Cell-free DNA (cfDNA), a broadly applicable biomarker commonly sourced from urine or blood, is extensively used for research and diagnostic applications. In various settings, genetic and epigenetic information is derived from cfDNA. However, a unified framework for its processing is lacking, limiting the universal application of innovative analysis strategies and the joining of data sets.

Error self-correction is crucial for analyzing long-read sequencing data, but existing methods often struggle with noisy data or are tailored to technologies like PacBio HiFi. There is a gap in methods optimized for Nanopore R10 simplex reads, which typically have error rates below 2%. We introduce DeChat, a novel approach designed specifically for these reads.

RNA velocity, as an extension of trajectory inference, is an effective method for understanding cell development using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) experiments. However, existing RNA velocity methods are limited by the batch effect because they cannot directly correct for batch effects in the input data, which comprises spliced and unspliced matrices in a proportional relationship. This limitation can lead to an incorrect velocity stream.

Background: Long-read 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing has a high potential for characterizing food-associated microbiomes. The advantage results from sequencing the full-length (1,500 bp) gene, enabling taxonomic resolution at species level. Here we present a benchmarking study using mock communities representative of milking machine biofilms and raw meat, revealing challenges relevant to food-associated habitats.
