Data Analysis Solutions from ONT

The next lesson in the Nanopore Learning course for Human genome sequencing and analysis I watched was the introduction to data analysis solutions video. The speaker, Anthony Doran, shared a graphic with the different bioinformatics options provided by Oxford Nanopore. EPI2ME is the real-time cloud-based platform. There are several workflows for quality control, alignment, and […]

Real-time Analysis with EPI2ME

Tonight I watched another video from the Nanopore Learning course on Human Genome Sequencing and Analysis. This session was an introduction to real-time analysis. Sandra Guerra, a member of the Technical Services Specialist, introduced the tools for real-time data analysis. Guerra described the process of Nanopore DNA/RNA sequencing. They noted that Nanopore technologies and devices […]

Handling ONT Flowcells

Every time I load another Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) flow cell, I learn something new. Tonight, I watched the Nanopore Learning course on “Human genome sequencing and analysis” and the video about flow cell handling. Hazel Johnson, a Technical Services Specialist with ONT, explained the three flow cells available for ONT. The Flongle is designed […]
