Phenotype Insight through 1000 Genomes

After an endoscopy and very drowsy day, I watched the Knowledge Exchange session entitled “Nanopore from 100 to 1000 genomes: towards a better understanding of phenotypes. Fritz Sedlazeck and Philipp Rescheneder were the speakers. Sedlazeck has presented with Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) before and is an expert in structural variation analyses. This session was recorded […]

CNV and SV Detection

Luis Paulin from the Baylor College of Medicine presented at London Calling 2023 a short session entitled “The long and short of structural variants using Oxford Nanopore Sequencing.” Paulin described how genomic variation caused structural variants (SV) and copy number variants (CNV). Using long-read technology allows for access to difficult to sequence genomic regions, thus […]

SNP Analyses for Gorilla Conservation

Ettore Fedele from the University of Leicester in the UK presented at London Calling 2022 on “Genomic tools for gorilla population dynamics and conservation.” Fedele spoke about using Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) sequencing to support conservation of gorillas and began by emphasizing the importance of gorillas and major threats they encounter. Monitoring species to combat […]
