Dan Bottomley reporting how microbiome analysis, using NGS, can aid bowel cancer screening. 🧬

⁦Sally James⁩ joining the NGS symposium remotely to take us through NanoRate sequencing for ultra accurate detection of somatic mutations.

Direct RNA continues to improve. RNA004 provides improved accuracy (96%) & 3X output over RNA002. 6mA in RNA detected at 98.95% accuracy. New software enables accurate poly(A) tail length prediction. Short RNA (<50bp) & m1 pseuodridine basecaller coming soon. #nanoporeconf

Always great to be spreading the word about the clinical utility of long-read Oxford Nanopore sequencing. #ThirdGen

Out now, the latest paper from the Leeds Amelogenesis Imperfecta group highlighting the complexities of variant analysis in ameloblastin (AMBN). (With the inclusion of some Oxford Nanopore sequencing data.) doi.org/10.1177/002203…

Starting the year overlooking Alpe d’Huez.

A new North East & Yorkshire Genomics vacancy to work on genomics R&D projects in the NHS. A great opportunity to join the NEY GLH and work Leeds Teaching Hospitals. Please note the rapidly approaching closing date of the 14th February.

New early access paper available in JMG describing homozygous SMAD6 mutations in two unrelated patients with craniosynostosis and radioulnar synostosis. jmg.bmj.com/content/early/…

Opening address by ⁦Gordon Sanghera⁩ at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History - great venue for a Oxford Nanopore conference #WYMM(!)

⁦Richard Scott⁩ from ⁦Genomics England⁩ describing how the infinity loop powers the UK’s healthcare ecosystem.

Proud to see the lab being highlighted on the big screen. Lots of work by many people to start processing ⁦Genomics England⁩ Cancer 2.0 samples on the Oxford Nanopore PromethION. #WYMM ⁦North East & Yorkshire Genomics⁩ ⁦@LeedsMedHealth⁩
