Liftoff and Novel Gene Annotation

Alaina Shumate from Johns Hopkins University was a speaker at the Nanopore Community Meeting 2021. Shumate was a graduate student and worked on “The annotation of novel genes in a complete human genome.” They noted that in 2003, scientists “finished” the human genome, but reions were still incomplete. In 2021, the Telomere-to-Telomere (T2T) Consortium was […]

Liftoff Annotation of Novel Genes from T2T Human Genome

Alaina Shumate from John Hopkins University presented at the Nanopore Community Meeting 2021 about “The annotation of novel genes in a complete human genome.” They began by describing how in 2003 scientists “finished” the Human genome Project but there still was missing sequence! In 2021, the Telomere-to-Telomere (T2T) Consortium actually completed the sequence of a […]
