The last panelist of the London Calling 2023 liquid biopsy showcase was Andrew Beggs at Birmingham University in the UK. They run a mixed wet/dry oncology lab. The title of this short session was “Nanopore sequencing of ctDNA – better than short read!” They developed a homecrew ctDNA sequencing system. Their input is 5 ng […]
Tonight we started our first P2 run with two PromethION flow cells. I also continued watching the London Calling 2023 Showcase Stage on liquid biopsy. I watched them out of order! Today I watched Billy Lau from Stanford University School of Medicine do a quick presentation titled “Nanopore sequencing of cell-free DNA for methylation-based breast […]
Tonight I watched the London Calling 2023 session entitled “The potential application of nanopore sequencing for liquid biopsy analysis in children with cancer.” The second speaker was Carolin Sauer, a public research fellow at EMBL-EBI in the UK. Sauer focused on pediatric cancers and noted that they are the leading cause of death in the […]
