In primary school the ink well in my timber desk (circa 1970) often had a sprig of milk weed + monarch caterpillars, or eucalypt + emperor gum moth caterpillars.

🚀 Our new preprint is now live on bioRxiv!

🔬 About the study
We present the first comprehensive benchmark of bioinformatics tools 👇

Long Covid Now Most Common Chronic Health Problem in Children Now that Long Covid has become the most common chronic health condition in children, many more children may require additional support in school.

Congrats Hasindu and Nanopore Garvan team. This is an exciting development. I remember asking myself how AS might be used when it was first released. You have truely answered this 🙌🎉

Sequencing That Stimulates The Sensors - TEDx Presenter's Cut YouTube video by David Eccles

Because I recently stealth-shared this with the nanopore sequencing community, I figured I might as well post this here as well. This is a TEDx talk I gave in 2016, which I believe is the first public on-stage demonstration of nanopore sequencing:

Fantastic and well deserved. Build a useful too and let innovators run wild 😎

🌟 Client Publication Highlight! 🌟 We're proud to share a little summary of a recent study by Furnell et al (2024) who used the Ramaciotti Centre's long read (ONT) sequencing and Sanger sequencing services🧬

This week, we established a new Grant Programme to support researchers who are pursuing breakthrough science but may lack all the resources to access Oxford #Nanopore sequencing.

#AnythingAnyoneAnywhere

Well I wasn’t expecting that! Another amazing application with @nanoporetech.com
I might have to review my personal use of the overused term “Multiomics” 😉

Telomere-to-telomere DNA replication timing profiling using single-molecule sequencing with Nanotiming - Nature Communications Current temporal studies of DNA replication are either complex or low-resolution. Here, the authors introduce Nanotiming, a simple and inexpensive method producing high-resolution, telomere-to-telomer...

NanoTiming is now in Nature Communications! High-resolution DNA replication timing using nanopore sequencing shows that Rif1 regulates only specific telomeres: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Evaluating data requirements for high-quality haplotype-resolved genomes for creating robust pangenome references - Genome Biology Background Long-read technologies from Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) and Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) have transformed genomics research by providing diverse data types like HiFi, Duplex, and ult...

Our hitchhiking paper is out at genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.... great collaborative effort with Prasad Sarashetti, @jlipovac.bsky.social, Filip Tomas and JJ Liu.
Briefly, the nanopore is enough for high-quality human genomes. Recently, HERRO showed that even UL is sufficient. 1/3

Any @nanoporetech.com users I haven’t met, give me a 👋

Guess where I have been this week ?
(Yes they are cheese scones)

We are proud to announce a collaboration with UK Biobank to create the world’s first large-scale #epigenetic dataset of 50k participants. The dataset will unlock crucial insights into how #epigenetics drives disease & the breakthroughs to treat them.

Great, I was starting to feel a little lonely 😁

Please register for the course on Transposable elements in #genomics and #datascience. We will be sharing the magic of #nanopore long reads for #transposon expression #tesky

My stats have taken a hit as I was closing in on 1000 followers and following, and I am pretty selective 😉
Looking forward to a more wholesome environment.
