Tonight I watched Kieran O’Neill from Canada’s Michael Smith Genome Sciences Centre speak about “Long-read sequencing of an advanced cancer cohort” as part of London Calling 2025. This centre, O’Neill explained is one of the largest sequencing centers in Canada. The centre has a cohort of 189 diverse advanced cancer patients. With their personalized oncogenomics […]
Janessa Laskin from the BC Cancer Centre and The University of British Columbia in Canada spoke at London Calling 2024 on the “Application and use of long-read sequencing in personalized cancer medicine.” Laskin explained that medical oncologists are motivated to find effective treatments for cancer and identify vulnerabilities. The Personalized OncoGenomics (POG) started in 2012 […]
Tonight I watched the London Calling 2023 session by Kieran O’Neil from Canada’s Michael Smith Genome Sciences Centre at BC Cancer, Canada. The session title is “The potential of nanopore sequencing for personalised genomics.” They have been supporting a Personalized OncoGenomics Program (POG) that has focused on short-read whole genomes and interested in long-read sequencing […]
Kieran O’Neill from Canada’s Michael Smith Genome Sciences Center (GSC), BC Cancer, Canada presented at London Calling 2022 on “Nanopore sequencing shows potential for personalised oncogenomics.” O’Neill spoke about the GSC’s work on genome research and sequencing. They have a Personalized Oncogenomics Program (POG) that consists of taking a biopsy, whole genome transcriptome analysis, reporting, […]
