Karen Miga from the University of California, Santa Cruz, presented at London Calling 2019 on “Telomere-to-telomere assembly of a complete human X chromosome.” Miga is part of the Telomere-to-Telomere Consortium. They spoke about the gaps in the human genome. The challenge of assembling repeat regions may be tackled with ultra-long reads. Using the Josh Quick […]
Elena Bolshakova from Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia presented at the Nanopore Community Meeting 2021 on “DNA methylation analysis of a tandem repeat specific to Coturnix japonica using nanopore sequencing.” They mentioned that tandem repeats are poorly understood and yet important for the regulation of gene expression and chromosomal structure. Nanopore sequencing allows methylation […]
