Continuing with London Calling 2023, today I watched The Daily Preview with interviews with Thidathip Wongsurawat, Jon Hale, and Matt Loose. The recording was only eleven minutes long. Zoe McDougall from ONT Communications interviewed them. Wongsurawat spoke about the bottlenecks in cancer genomics in Bangkok. They were excited about automated analyses and pipelines that streamline […]
Hans-Peter Fasching a Study Director from ViruSure in Austria presented at London Calling 2023 an eight-minute session entitled “Identification of viral contamination of biopharmaceutical product using nanopore sequencing.” They mentioned that ViruSure offers a variety of biosafety tests to the biopharmaceutical industry including qPCR, virus clearance, genetic stability, and many more. Fasching presented a case […]
Tonight I watched the London Calling 2023 product demo for “Analysing bacterial genomes – from species identification to AMR.” Stephen Rudd, Director of Bioinformatics Product at Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT), shared their work on EPI2ME labs products. They have been developing EPI2ME Labs workflows for several years. These are pre-installed workflows that can help solve […]
The London Calling Metagenomics and isolate genome sequencing product demo was a fourteen-minute recording I watched tonight. The session was hosted by Rachel Rubinstein, a Technical Product Manager, Software, for Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT). Rubinstein spoke about using ONT for bacterial and viral genome sequencing. The goal of the session was to share applications using […]
Tonight I watched the “Welcome back to London Calling 2023” session. Rosemary Sinclair Dokos, Senior VP of Product & Programme Management at Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) was the presenter and began day two of London Calling 2023 by talking about the journey of ONT. Sinclair Dokos found several parallels between the London Underground construction and […]
Akelia Wauchope-Odumbo, a Technical Services Manager – Americas with Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT), led a Masterclass at London Calling 2023. I watched the recording tonight, as the session title aligns with the course goals for the ONT-based lab I am designing: “How to get started with nanopore sequencing and plan your experiment.” The session started […]
Megan Radosevich from Carroll College presented at the Nanopore Community Meeting 2021 on “Analyzing regional and seasonal microbial community variation from a contaminated Montanana river.” Their project is called CREWS: Consortium for Research on Environmental Water Systems that is funded by the Montana NSF EPSCoR Partnership with several colleges and universities in Montana. A central […]
Tonight I watched the “Plasmid sequencing, assembly and analysis workflow” video with speaker Jon Pugh, Associate Director of Platform Marketing at Oxford Nanopore Technologies. The whole plasmid nanopore sequencing workflow allows for sequencing analysis of inserts, promoters, and backbones. With Nanopore sequencing, it is possible to use a single technique “in-house.” The workflow they suggest […]
