Are nanopore UL reads only long reads we need? We developed Herro github.com/lbcb-sci/herro AI error correction model that can correct reads to accuracy above Q30 while trying to keep informative positions intact. w/ Dominik Stanojevic Dehui Lin Sergey Nurk 🇺🇦 Pore_XX_Singapore Oxford Nanopore

I'm thrilled to announce that our research on macaque genomics is now available on BioRxiv (biorxiv.org/content/10.110…)! We completely sequenced a macaque genome and analyzed genomic differences within macaques and between macaques and humans.

🧬A genomic study of human and selected nonhuman primate centromeres has revealed their unimaginable diversity and speed of evolutionary change.

Long live the long-read sequencing (LRS) technology! The genomics field's new superpower to read even the darkest, repetitive parts--centromeres and telomeres--of the human genome is beginning to solve decades to centuries-old genetic puzzles, one by one.

Last year, we saw how…

BREAKING NEWS
The 2023 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman for their discoveries concerning nucleoside base modifications that enabled the development of effective mRNA vaccines against COVID-19.

So Oxford Nanopore discovered something a few days ago - and it has to do with light. And they posted this image (sorry, too good not to share off the community). Yes, that’s 469% increased output. So, we decided to give it a shot and …
