Promoting Community and Biodiversity with Org.one

Tomas Marques-Bonet from the Institute of Evolutionary Biology in Spain spoke about the Org.one project at the Nanopore Community Meeting in 2021. The title of the session was “ORG.one: a new program to promote sequencing biodiversity.” They spoke about the mass extinction of species and the need to preserve biodiversity. Marques-Bonet explained how biodiversity genomics […]

Sequencing C. bovis in the Field

Lewis Stevens from Northwestern University presented at the Nanopore Community Meeting 2019 on “Reference genomes from the field: the genome of Caenorhabditis bovis.” Stevens spoke about nematodes and their importance as parasites! Nematodes are estimated to infect 1.5 billion people worldwide! Wow! C. elegans is, however, distantly related to the nematode parasites. C. bovis may […]

Circularizing Genomes

Dylan Maghini from Stanford University presented at the Nanopore Community Meeting 2019 on “Genomes from metagenomes: assembling bacterial genomes with nanopore sequencing.” Maghini spoke about the importance of the human gut microbiome on human health. They noted that we still have an incomplete understanding of the gut microbiome. For example, de novo assembly aims to […]

Nanopore Sequencing and Bacterial Genome Assembly

Mantas Sereika from Aalborg University in Germany presented at the Nanopore Community Meeting 2021 a session with a title that caught my attention tonight: “Nanopore R10.4 enables near-perfect bacterial genomes.” They spoke about Nanopore sequencing raw read accuracy improvements and issues with homopolymers. Insertions and deletions in homopolymer regions can be an issue causing frameshifts. […]

Daffodils and Advances in Access to ONT

Continuing with London Calling 2023, today I watched The Daily Preview with interviews with Thidathip Wongsurawat, Jon Hale, and Matt Loose. The recording was only eleven minutes long. Zoe McDougall from ONT Communications interviewed them. Wongsurawat spoke about the bottlenecks in cancer genomics in Bangkok. They were excited about automated analyses and pipelines that streamline […]

Some of the World’s Largest Conservation Efforts

The London Calling 2023 showcase on conservation included a session entitled “A low-cost, rapid approach to generate non-model genomes for biodiversity and conservation genomics.” Matt Miller Is from Reneco Wildlife Conservation in the United Arab Emirates. They work on conservation and captive breeding. Miller noted that “Reference Genomes are Models.” Miller said that “no genome […]

Clinicians and Bioinformaticians Using Nanopore for Diagnostics

Tonight I watched the London Calling 2023 panel “The future of clinical genomics.” Four panelists were asked several questions. The first was about the role of bioinformaticians in clinical work. One panelist spoke about how clinicians work on the automation and presenting the data. The exchange with bioinformaticians has helped the clinicians make the most […]
