📣Excited to share that our new #paper is out! Using #eDNA #metabarcoding to detect #elasmobranchs in #OWFs in the North Sea🦈🦈

These are juvenile small-spotted catshark (Scyliorhinus canicula) hatched in August this year. So cool!
Btw, I am moving my posts to bluesky, follow me there at: bsky.app/profile/reindertn.b…

Direct native RNA (no cDNA!) sequencing from @nanopore is revolutionising RNA sequencing. It already achieves 19.4 Q accuracy and can detect modifications like m6a, m5c, pseudouridine and inosine. Watch my colleague Bronya Boydon explain how it works.

This is worth a new thread. Not quite 24 hours. 50 Gb of data with an N50 of 115kb from a single load on a flow cell. This compares with 33.4 Gb in the same time from a standard flow cell with the same library and 2 loads. These beta flow cells need to stop being beta @nanopore
Trying out some more of the @nanopore improved buffer flow cells announced at #NanoporeConf . P1 is a regular flow cell. P2 is an improved buffer. They've just completed first mux scan. P1 lost a lot of pores - P2 did a lot better N50s on these are "tasty"... more as it happens!

Phone screenshots are the worst. But can you tell which flow cell is the improved buffer? One needs flushing, the other is still going strong. I hope @nanopore can get these out of beta asap!

Preprint on "BWT construction and search at the terabase scale". We can compress 100 human genomes to 11GB in 21 hours, find SMEMs with it, do affine-gap alignment and retrieve similar local haplotypes. 7.3Tb commonly sequenced bacterial genomes ⇒ 30GB arxiv.org/abs/2409.00613

Sequencing DNA on our shiny new @nanopore MinION Mk1D. Hooked up to a workstation with a RTX4080 GPU, live basecalling at SUP accuracy is easy. Can't wait to connect it to an @Apple Ipad Pro instead, and take it in the field and at sea! #realrealtime #mk1d

Led by @harika_urel @Health_talents @TU_Muenchen, we @helmholtz_ai @uzh_vetsuisse @fz_juelich present first evidence that AI-based analysis of @nanopore signal data might enable viability-resolved metagenomics – completely for free! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…; a quick thread (0/3):

Last day of @nanopore London Calling for us! But not before trying more yummy snacks🍦 @NanoporeConf #nanoporeconf

All right, all right, all right, it's that time of the year were Spring is upon us, the birds are chirping, and Oxford @nanopore gives us a tech update in #LC2024 #nanoporeconf
