Liftoff and Novel Gene Annotation

Alaina Shumate from Johns Hopkins University was a speaker at the Nanopore Community Meeting 2021. Shumate was a graduate student and worked on “The annotation of novel genes in a complete human genome.” They noted that in 2003, scientists “finished” the human genome, but reions were still incomplete. In 2021, the Telomere-to-Telomere (T2T) Consortium was […]

Sequencing a Fungal Banana Pathogen

Luca Degradi from the University of Milan in Italy presented at London Calling 2021 about “Chromosome-level genome assembly of Fusarium musae using MinION.” They described this organism as a “cross-kingdom pathogen” reported by the HUPLANTcontrol program in Europe. The organism can infect bananas and humans! The first infection seems to have been a human. At […]

Population Genomics in Thailand and Australia

Tonight I watched the Population Genomics Showcase Stage from the Nanopore Community Meeting in Singapore 2023. Warren Bach, ONT Senior Strategic Account Manager in Australia, was the moderator. Hardip Patel spoke about Australia’s National Centre for Indigenous Genomics, and Manop Pithukaporn presented on Thailand were the speakers. Hardip Patel from The Australian National University presented […]

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 […]

ONT Duplex and HiFi Reads for T2T Assemblies

Dr. Sergey Koren from the National Institutes of Health presented at London Calling 2023 on “Automated telomere-to-telomere crop genome assembly using only Oxford Nanopore sequencing.” His background is in computer science. Dr. Koren began by mentioning that the telomere-to-telomere (T2T) human genome was recently completed, adding almost 8-10% to the genome. He described how Nanopore […]

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 […]
