Uncovering Novel Peptides and Mutations: Transcriptomic Analysis of Human Cortex

We are back from the beach! Tonight, I watched Rosemary Bamford from the University of Exeter in the UK present at London Calling 2024 on “Full-length transcript atlas of the developing human cortex.” Bamford is from the Complex Disease Epigenomics Group, and they study disease-associated genomic variation. Bamford explained alternative splicing as a way of […]

Near-perfect Bacterial Genomes and MAGs

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 […]
