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 […]

The Serratia that Wasn’t Red… and Wasn’t marcescens

Levin Joe Klages from CeBiTec in Bielefeld University, Germany presented at the Nanopore Community Meeting 2022 on “Analysis of clinical research samples by nanopore sequencing with Q20+ chemistry reveals inaccurate classifications within the genus Serratia.” We used Q20+ chemistry to sequence a “red” isolate which ended up being Serratia according to our classification. I was […]

Afterwork Genome Sequencing and CRISPRoff

Sung won Lim from Binomica Labs in the USA did a flash talk at the Nanopore Community Meeting in 2022 about “MinION outcome in amateur research: three genomes from 2018 to 2022.” They started using MinION for fun as a “weekend project.” They sequenced Deinococcus radiophilus GCF 020889623.1 and compared it to other genomes deposited […]

Sequencing the Genome of the Brown-Headed Spider Monkey

Gabriela Pozo spoke at the Nanopore Community Meeting 2022 about “Whole-genome sequencing of the Ecuadorian brown-headed spider monkey (Ateles fusciceps fusciceps), a critically endangered species. Pozo is from the Universidad San Francisco de Quito, Ecuador. Pozo mentioned that this is a diurnal primate, with a mostly ripe fruit diet and also mushrooms and insects, and […]
