T2T Human Genome Assembly with Only ONT Reads

Jianjun Liu from the Genome Institute of Singapore presented at the Nanopore Community Meeting 2023 in Singapore a session entitled “Redefining telomere-to-telomere genome assembly strategy using the Oxford Nanopore platform.” They did a study in collaboration with Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) to assemble a telomere-to-telomere (T2T) human genome with only Nanopore reads. Liu spoke about […]

Liftoff Annotation of Novel Genes from T2T Human Genome

Alaina Shumate from John Hopkins University presented at the Nanopore Community Meeting 2021 about “The annotation of novel genes in a complete human genome.” They began by describing how in 2003 scientists “finished” the Human genome Project but there still was missing sequence! In 2021, the Telomere-to-Telomere (T2T) Consortium actually completed the sequence of a […]

Entering the T2T Era?

Telomere-to-telomere assembly has been coming up in Nanopore Community Meeting 2022 sessions frequently. The session I watched tonight had it in the title: “Expanding studies of global genomic diversity with complete, telomere-to-telomere assembly of diploid genomes” presented by Karen Miga from the University of California, Santa Cruz. Miga shared information about the release of the […]
