Assembling a T2T Gyr Cattle Genome with Oxford Nanopore Reads

Temitayo A. Olagunju from the University of Idaho presented at London Calling 2024 on “Assembling a T2T cattle genome with Oxford Nanopore reads.”The breed of cattle they focused on is the gyr, with a characteristic hum on the back and important for milk production. They are often intercrossed/interbred with other bos cattle for their features […]

Duplications, Rearrangements, and Complex Bacterial Genomes

Tonight, I watched the London Calling 2019 session “Ultra-long reads and ultra-long duplications: deciphering the mysteries of the Bordetella pertussis genome.” Natalie Ring from the University of Bath in the UK was the presenter. They spoke about whooping cough and how the introduction of vaccination in the 1950s reduced the number of reported cases. In […]
