Mantas Sereika, a Ph.D. student at Aalborg University in Denmark, spoke at the Nanopore Community Meeting 2021 about “Nanopore R10.4 enables near-perfect bacterial genomes.” This topic is of interest for several of the courses I teach. Sereika spoke about the improvements in accuracy of Nanopore sequencing. Raw read accuracy has increased but there are still […]
Miten Jain from the University of California, Santa Cruz presented at the Nanopore Community Meeting 2021 on “Nanopore sequencing updates using Q20+ and R10.4.” While this may not be the latest technology, I think it is useful to learn about the history and how improvement were made. Jain spoke about the early version of ultra-long […]
Alexander Wittenberg from KeyGene in the Netherlands presented at the Nanopore Community Meeting 2021 on “Accuracy improvements in crop genome assembly using the Q20+ chemistry.” They presented on improvements in sequencing and crop assembly using Q20+ chemistry. KeyGene is using genome assembly and the early access ONT program to identify pan-genome and variants. KeyGene has […]
