The London Calling 2024 session I watched tonight is called “Precision immunology in transplant: paving the way to operational tolerance.” Karen Sherwood from The University of British Columbia presented the Genome Canada Transplant Consortium work. The group noticed that trying to match organs and recipients on a genetic level was complex. Using next-generation sequencing, HLA […]
The Nanopore Learning course on “Human genome sequencing and analysis” has a video on Kit V14. Vania Costa, a Technical Services Specialist with Oxford Nanopore Technologies, described the accuracy of kit 14, which relies on R10.4.1 flow cells and pores. Costa explained that kit v14 has simplex Q20+ and duplex Q30+. Currently, there are ligation-based […]
Tonight I watched John E. Gorzynski and Sneha D. Goenka from Stanford University present at London Calling 2022. Their fifteen-minute presentation entitled “Accelerated identification of disease-causing variants with ultra-rapid nanopore genome sequencing” was packed with information even though it was an informal session. This was an in-person session last year. Gorzynski is a postdoctoral scholar […]
