Oxford Nanopore ITS metabarcoding of postharvest fungal isolates from tropical fruits in Ecuador: CPU vs GPU bioinformatics workflow benchmarking
Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) MinION sequencing of the ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 region from 28 fungal isolates (Aspergillus niger, Cladosporium cladosporioides, Rhizopus stolonifer) obtained from banana, pineapple and pitahaya postharvest samples collected in Quito, Ecuador. Data generated for benchmarking CPU-based (Dorado FAST + VSEARCH + Optuna Bayesian optimization) versus GPU-accelerated (Dorado SUP + Medaka neural network polishing) bioinformatics workflows.
