The Features of the GridION

Since we have the GridION and want to learn more about how to use it, I watched the Knowledge Exchange session about the “GridION Mk1: delivering the ultimate flexibility in the lab.” Jon Pugh spoke emphasized that Nanopore sequencing has the benefits real-time, on demand, and bioinformatics rich data. Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) has the […]

Monitoring and Maximizing Flow Cell Use

I started watching videos from the Nanopore Learning Lesson Library. The Knowledge Exchange video “Getting the most out of a flow cell” caught my attention. Connie O’Donnell was the host and was joined by Anne-Marie Wadsworth who discussed tips to maximize flow cell use. Wadsworth explained that all flow cells have a maximum run time […]

Improving Genetic Testing through 1000 Genomes Project

Danny E. Miller from the University of Washington presented at the Nanopore Community Meeting in Singapore on “The 1000 Genomes Project Oxford Nanopore Sequencing Consortium: expanding our understanding of human genetic variation.” They started by comparing the medical history and testing performed on two patients. Miller shared a linear workflow for traditional genetic workup. Miller’s […]

Structural Variant Detection and Analysis

Continuing with the Nanopore Learning course on Human Genome Sequencing and Analysis, tonight I watched the video about structural variation detection. Anthony Doran, a member of the Technical Services Team with Oxford Nanopore Technologies, defined structural variation as large structural changes in your sample compared to the reference genome. The examples Doran shared on a […]
