Detecting RNA Modifications with Nanopore Devices and IVT Reference Method

Logan Mulroney from the EMBL-EBI & Center for Genomic Science at the Italian Institute of Technology in Italy presented at London Calling 2024 “A survey of human RNA modifications by direct RNA nanopore sequencing.” Mulroney described RNA modifications as “chemical alterations to canonical nucleotides” and mentioned that they have been implicated in diseases such as […]

Detecting the Epigenome with ONT

Chen Yong from Oxford Nanopore helped facilitate the Knowledge Exchange session I watched tonight: “Decoding the epigenome with Oxford Nanopore real-time methylation detection.” This webinar was recorded. Sayonika Mohanta from ONT explained that methylation is central to gene expression. They spoke about the role of methylation in gene expression: her or hypo methylation can affect […]

Epigenetics and DNA Methylation Detection with ONT

Continuing with the Human genome sequencing and analysis Nanopore Learning course, tonight I watched the video on “Methylation Detection: Sample to Answer Workflow Overview.” Dilrini De Silva from the Technical Services Team at Oxford Nanopore started by defining epigenetics as the study of gene activity caused by chemical modification of nucleic acids, both DNA and […]

Metagenomic Binning Considering Modifications

Soren Heidelbach spoke at the Nanopore Community Meeting 2022 about “Developing new bioinformatics methods to identify modifications from nanopore sequencing.” Heidelbach is from Aalborg University, Denmark. They did metagenomic binning: grouped contigs based on information from k-mers and coverage and also considered modification motifs. Their modification of metagenomic binning was to include base modification as […]
