Tonight I watched the next video of the Human Genome Sequencing and Analysis course that is part of Nanopore Learning. The lesson is an “Introduction to SNP and Indel Detection,” and Anthony Doran, a Technical Services Scientist, from ONT discussed bioinformatics tools for SNP and indel detection. Doran spoke about the need to map/align reads […]
Oscar Gonzalez-Recio from the National Institute for Agricultural and Food Research and Technology at the Spanish National Research Council in Spain presented at London Calling 2023 on “(Epi)genotyping by low-pass sequencing using nanopore technologies.” Gonzalez-Recio noted that this worm has been accepted for publication. They started with a history of modern genomic breeding and how […]
Ettore Fedele from the University of Leicester in the UK presented at London Calling 2022 on “Genomic tools for gorilla population dynamics and conservation.” Fedele spoke about using Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) sequencing to support conservation of gorillas and began by emphasizing the importance of gorillas and major threats they encounter. Monitoring species to combat […]
