Metagenomic Binning Considering Modifications

Soren Heidelbach spoke at the Nanopore Community Meeting 2022 about “Developing new bioinformatics methods to identify modifications from nanopore sequencing.” Heidelbach is from Aalborg University, Denmark. They did metagenomic binning: grouped contigs based on information from k-mers and coverage and also considered modification motifs. Their modification of metagenomic binning was to include base modification as […]

Strand-seq for Haplotyping and Parent-of-origin Assignments

Vahid Akbari is a Ph.D. student at BC Cancer in the Genome Sciences Centre in Canada. They presented at the Nanopore Community Meeting 2022 a session entitled “Simultaneous haplotyping and parent-of-origin assignment of homologous chromosomes without parental sequence data.” The approach they developed allows researchers to haplotype chromosomes and assign parent-of-origin without parent data. They […]

Fungal Symbioses and Nanopore Sequencing

Jessica Allen from Eastern Washington University presented at the Nanopore Community Meeting 2022 on “Using nanopore sequencing to investigate genome evolution in fungal symbioses: ploidy, repetitive elements, and reproduction.” Allen studies fungi and mentioned that human fungal pathogens and those affecting plant systems are on the rise. Allen studies lichens. Lichenized fungi are diverse, abundant, […]
