Innovative NESSI-Seq for Biomarker Discovery

Chad Pollard from Wasatch BioLabs spoke at the Biopharma Day at NCM Boston. The session’s title was “NESSI-Seq: novel cfDNA methylation assays for biomarker discovery and precision medicine.” Pollard described Wasatch BioLabs as a high-throughput nanopore sequencing lab. NESSI-Seq is a methylation analysis method. They developed a method to provide more methylation information than the […]

Bambu for Transcript Discovery

Andre Sim from the Genome Institute of Singapore (A*STAR) in Singapore spoke at the Nanopore Community Meeting 2021 about “Bambu – generating context-aware transcriptomes with Oxford Nanopore long-reads.” What a cool name! Sim explained that RNA sequencing technologies have evolved, but reference annotation for transcript analysis has remained relatively unchanged. Sim noted that fragments could […]
