Closed Genome Sequences of Clinical Neisseria gonorrhoeae Strains Obtained from Combined Oxford Nanopore and Illumina Sequencing

Abstract

Neisseria gonorrhoeae is the etiological agent of gonorrhea, the second most common notifiable disease in the United States. Here, we used a hybrid approach combining Oxford Nanopore Technologies MinION and Illumina MiSeq sequencing data to obtain closed genome sequences of nine clinical N. gonorrhoeae isolates.
