A Quail Genome with Methylated Repeats

Elena Bolshakova from Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia presented at the Nanopore Community Meeting 2021 on “DNA methylation analysis of a tandem repeat specific to Coturnix japonica using nanopore sequencing.” They mentioned that tandem repeats are poorly understood and yet important for the regulation of gene expression and chromosomal structure. Nanopore sequencing allows methylation […]

Real-time Sequencing of Brain Samples

Franz-Josef Müller & Helene Kretzmer gave a presentation at the Nanopore Community Meeting 2021 about “Real-time cancer classification with nanopore sequencing.” Kretzmer defined real-time sequencing as “short time” sample processing from wet lab to bioinformatics. Muller explained that they have optimized a protocol for identification of brain cancers. They start with a rapid DNA extraction […]
