Abstract
Cambridge rowers, swimmers and punters regularly obtain serious infections from the river Cam’s water. An information and research framework that targets the involved microbial culprits is still lacking. The PuntSeq team will provide an in-depth resolution of the Cam’s microbial and pathogenic landscape by using the Oxford Nanopore MinION to sequence all DNA extracted from the river’s water.
