Metagenomic Classification and ONT Reads

Tim Walker from the Technical Services Team with Oxford Nanopore Technologies presented the Nanopore Learning Course – Metagenomics lesson I watched tonight. They spoke about metagenomic classification techniques to identify organisms from sequence data and annotate genes. For targeted metagenomics, ITS, 16S, or antibiotic resistance genes can be amplified and sequenced. Whole genome sequencing can […]

Methods for Exploring the Genotyping Haystack

The next Nanopore Community Meeting 2022 session I watched was a longer: 27 min. “Finding the needle: haplotype-resolved discovery and annotation of clinically relevant genetic and epigenetic variants using whole-genome nanopore sequencing” was presented by Sissel Juul and Phillipp Rescheneder, both from Oxford Nanopore Technologies. Juul described the work of their team to sequence genomes […]
