Introducing cornetto, an adaptive genome assembly paradigm using Oxford Nanopore adaptive sampling. - greatly reduces cost per genome assembly - reference agnostic, so works for non-humans - assembly just using saliva - & many more Relies on 2 excellent software #readfish & #hifiasm.

A/Prof Jodie Ingles and A/Prof Owen Siggs spoke to 7NEWS Sydney recently about the launch of the Rare Disease Registry at Garvan. This program aims to improve diagnosis and treatment options for the two million Australians living with a rare disease. ow.ly/xtkx50VvkXH




Realfreq, a framework for real-time base modification analysis for nanopore sequencing, is now published in Bioinformatics. Written efficiently using C, a laptop can keep up with a Oxford Nanopore MinION sequencer, and a desktop a PromethION 2 solo flowcell. academic.oup.com/bioinformatics…
