Update on Modified Base Detection and Methylation in Nanopore

Marcus Stoiber, Principal Algorithms Researcher with Oxford Nanopore Technologies, presented an update on modified bases at the Nanopore Community Meeting in Houston. They began describing how modified bases are detected from nanopore sequencing data. Remora detects modified bases on top of base calling. This is an analogy to Remora latching on to bigger fish and […]

Nanopore Sockeye

What is Nanopore Sockeye? Tonight I watched a session with Sockeye in the title and may finally learn what it does! Eoghan Harrington, a genomic applications fellow at Oxford Nanopore Technologies, presented at London Calling 2022 on “Sockeye: nanopore-only demultiplexing of single-cell reads.” They explained that there has been an explosion of single-cell applications and […]
