| Abstract | Background Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) offers an accessible platform for long-read sequencing, which improves the reconstruction of genomes and helps to resolve complex genomic contexts, especially in the case of metagenome analysis. To take the best advantage of long-read sequencing, DNA extraction methods must be able to isolate pure high molecular weight (HMW) DNA from complex metagenomics samples, without introducing any bias. New methods released on the market, and protocols developed at the research level, were specifically designed for this application and need to be assessed. Results In this study, with different bacterial cocktail mixes, analyzed as pure or spiked in a synthetic fecal matrix, we evaluated the performances of 6 DNA extraction methods using various cells lysis and purification techniques, from quick and easy, to more time-consuming and gentle protocols, including a portable method for on-site application. In addition to the comparison of the quality, quantity and purity of the extracted DNA, the performance obtained when doing Nanopore sequencing on a MinION flow cell was also tested. From the obtained results, the Quick-DNA HMW MagBead Kit (Zymo Research) was selected as producing the best yield of pure HMW DNA. Furthermore, this kit allowed an accurate detection, by Nanopore sequencing, of almost all the bacterial species present in a complex mock community. Conclusion Amongst the 6 tested methods, the Quick-DNA HMW MagBead Kit (Zymo Research) was considered as the most suitable for Nanopore sequencing and would be recommended for bacterial metagenomics studies using this technology. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
