SamnSero Workflow: Real-time Bacterial Genome Analysis

Tonight, I watched the London Calling EPI2ME product demo: “EPI2ME: democratising bioinformatics—from point-and-click analysis to custom integrations.” Natalia Garcia, a Bioinformatics Workflow Developer with Oxford Nanopore Technologies, explained how workflows use Nextflow and Docker containers. Seventeen workflows were available at the time of the recording during London Calling. Workflows can be run via the command […]

Long-Read Sequencing Innovations in Neurodegenerative Disease Research

Tonight, I watched the London Calling 2024 session on “breaking boundaries in neurodegenerative disease research.” Cora Vacher from Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) introduced the speakers and facilitated the question and answer session. Joanne Trinh from the Institute of Neurogenetics at the University of Lubeck in Germany was the first presenter. Trinh works with a research […]

Conservation Genomics and Biodiversity Crisis: Insights from Org.one Program | London Calling 2024

The Org. One program is fascinating. I would love to be involved. Tonight, I watched the London Calling 2024 session titled “Org.one to 10.” Kara Dicks, Program Manager at Conservation Genomics with Org.one, spoke about the biodiversity crisis. The Org.one program supports local sequencing. The program has supported over ninety projects. Participants receive kits and […]

Learning from the London Calling 2024 Community

The London Calling 2024 virtual platform is no longer available! So, tonight, I started watching the available YouTube playlists. The first consists of studio interviews. I watched the “LC24 Studio: Understanding Structural Variation, Population Genomics” session. Zoe McDougall interviewed presenters. Belen de la Morena from the University of Murcia in Spain spoke about their interest […]

Container Labs and Rich Biodiversity

Mrinalini Watsa from the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance presented at London Calling 2024 a session titled “Into the unknown: portable sequencing empowers global conservation genomics.” I believe Watsa presented at a previous London Calling. They spoke about biodiversity loss and how we likely don’t know the true diversity. Watsa presented examples of amphibian genomic […]

Sequencing Sharks

Saili Johri from San Diego State University presented at London Calling 2019 on “Unraveling shark secrets: sequencing genomes and microbiomes for research and conservation.” Johri explained how they are using the MinION to conserve sharks and rays. They emphasized how sharks are apex predators important for oceanic ecosystems and maintaining coral reefs. Sharks make direct […]

Determining Breakpoints and Duplications during Genetic Testing

Chris T.L. Chan from the Hong Kong Sanitorium & Hospital in China spoke at London Calling 2019 on “Long-read NGS guided preimplantation genetic testing for chromosomal structural rearrangement.” Chan presented a clinical scenario. They explained that short-read sequencing allowed the analysis of copy number variation from blood samples. Loss of copy can be identified with […]

Identification of Retrotransposons in Cancer and Germline Samples

Tonight, I watched Kimmo Palin from the University of Helsinki present at London Calling 2019 on “Retrotransposon variation in human genome and tumorigenesis.” They began by discussing retrotransposons and describing them as “copy-paste elements” in the genome that copy themselves with an RNA intermediate. They range in size between 300 bp and 6,000 bp. LINE1 […]
