Methylation Distribution and RNA Sequencing: Insights from Large-Scale Studies

I continued watching the ONT “Empowering comprehensive sequencing at scale” session. The next speaker in this session was Brynja Sigurpalsdottir who spoke about large-scale methylation studies. They spoke about how base calling is used to detect methylation. The team sequenced 7,179 whole blood samples sequenced on 8906 PromethION R9.4 flowcells! Twenty-two samples were sequenced on […]

Point-of-care Metagenomics with ONT

Tonight I watched Madjid Morsli from the Mediterranean Infection Foundation and & Aix-Marselle University in France present at London Calling 2022 on “Point-of-care, real-time, metagenomics-based pathogen genome detection of life-threatening community-acquired meningitis.” They spoke about infectious bacterial meningitis and how the genotype of the pathogen affects prognosis. Morsli noted that at least 200 pathogens have […]

Ultrafast Nanopore Genome Sequencing for Critical Care

Tonight I watched the London Calling 2022 session by Euan Ashley from Stanford University. The title of this twenty-minute session was “The potential of ultrarapid nanopore genome sequencing for critical care medicine.” Ashley emphasized that the cost of genome sequencing has decreased rapidly over the last decade. With this, the accuracy has also improved. Ashley […]
