Comparison of Linked-Read Sequencing Methods on Metagenomic Mock Communities

While 10x Genomics' linked reads has been discontinued after nearly half a decade of widespread usage, a variety of other barcode-based SSLR methods such as LoopSeq and TELL-Seq have been commercialized recently. These are LoopSeq and TELL-Seq sequencing datasets generated from 5- and 20-species metagenomic mock communities respectively, to benchmark the performances of different barcoding methods on complex samples.
