Before these companies like plasmidsaurus that do whole-plasmid sequencing for relatively cheap with nanopore, people generally only sequenced a region of interest using sanger sequencing. The rest of the plasmid was assumed to be mostly correct, as long as it grows on a bacterial resistance. As noted in the article, the rise of nanopore-based whole-plasmid sequencing has reduced a lot of these types of errors.

OK, this looks great. $15-60 for plasmid sampling!
