Kim Musser, Clinical Director, Wadsworth Center, David Axelrod Institute, presented at ESCMID Global on the use of nanopore sequencing in public health investigations. The title of the session was “Implementing next generation sequencing for rapid diagnostics and public health investigations.” Musser spoke about using nanopore sequencing for antimicrobial sequencing for antibiotic resistant bacteria to characterize […]
Jimmy Creith is a Field Applications Scientist in bioinformatics. They work with Oxford Nanopore Technologies and presented the London Calling 2024 Masterclass I watched tonight. The session title was “How to analyse your data with EPI2ME.” We will use EPI2ME in the course. Creith focused on how EPI2ME can be used for small and large […]
Tonight, I watched the video for Kimberlee Musser’s session at the Nanopore Community Meeting Houston 2023. Kimberlee Musser works at Wadsworth Center in the New York State Department of Health. The session’s title is “Improving bacterial disease public health testing with nanopore sequencing.” Musser represents the work of many scientists from the Wadsworth Center, New […]
Tonight I watched the London Calling 2023 session on targeted sequencing. The first question asked was why select targeted sequencing. One panelist spoke about the ability to try the technology and modify it for their needs. Another speaker explained that creating a custom panel would be easier for the analysis. A third panelist said that […]
Anna Dolnik from the Charite University Medicine Berlin in Germany presented at London Calling 2022 “Combined CRISPR/Cas9 targeted enrichment and whole-genome sequencing allows real-time stratification of acute myeloid leukemia (AML).” AML patient stratification, Dolnik explained, relies on identification of copy number and fusion transcripts. Dolnik mentioned they had presented on ONT-based AML systems before at […]
“Profiling drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis with targeted nanopore sequencing” was the title of the sessionn Shannon Murphy from the Wadsworth Center – New York State Department of Health presented at the Nanopore Community Meeting 2022. Murphy spoke about how they are planning on using Nanopore sequencing to address some of the challenges of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). […]
