- Reposted by Aaron Pomerantz🚨 New tool for viral genomics! Meet CLAE: a high-fidelity Nanopore sequencing strategy that pushes accuracy to Q30, boosts throughput >800 Mb/100 pores, and recovers full-length viral genomes from complex samples 🌊🦠 👉 [https://doi.org/10.1002/advs.202505978] #viromics #nanopore #genomics
- Reposted by Aaron PomerantzPleased to say that our preprint benchmarking Nanopore data for MLST, cgMLST, cgSNP & AMR typing from bacterial isolates is out! TL;DR you can get almost perfect results from 50x depth using live SUP basecalling with a GPU in under 20 hours #microsky#IDsky 🦠🧬🖥️ /1 www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

- Reposted by Aaron PomerantzWhat a great key note presentation from @mariechattaway.bsky.social looking at the evolution of #AMR in #Salmonella over the lifetime of #publichealth surveillance. If you enjoyed Marie's talk, then there are many posters featuring work from others @ukhsa.bsky.social's surveillance team here at #I3S

- Each year at @asm.org I'm blown away by the growing amount of presentations and posters leveraging @nanoporetech.com. This year we identified nearly 100 abstracts, ranging from clinical micro & public health applications to environmental research. See you there! nanoporetech.com/about/events...

- Reposted by Aaron PomerantzAbsolutely thrilled to announce the launch of ARTIC2 - a £5.5M 5 year project funded by @wellcometrust.bsky.social to build on the ARTIC approach of low-cost, globally accessible genome sequencing for surveillance of outbreaks, epidemics and endemic diseases: www.birmingham.ac.uk/news/2025/am...
- Every year there so many amazing @nanoporetech.com updates at London Calling. Here I'll focus on some of my top picks for Microbiology & Infectious Disease 🦠 First, we saw how the technology continued to advance research in 2024 with ~2/3 of ONT publications in micro/infectious #nanoporeconf
- This is going to be an incredible resource for the microbiology community!

- Reposted by Aaron PomerantzFirst genome sequence from the Ugandan Ebolavirus outbreak with analysis: virological.org/t/990 and first filovirus genome submitted to Pathoplexus database: pathoplexus.org/seq/PP_0011C.... Great (and rapid) work from the National Health Laboratory, UVRI and partners.

- There were remarkable updates presented at #PAG32 on incredibly accurate @nanoporetech.com sequencing for applications ranging from telomere-to-telomere plant & animal genome assemblies, to amplicon sequencing at massive scale. Here are some highlights in case you missed them (thread)
- First up during our Industry Workshop, Sean Prosser (U Guelph) demonstrated how @nanoporetech.com can be used to sequence >100,000 specimens at once, lowering cost to just $0.01 each, with even a MinION outperforming a PacBio Sequel II. Incredibly, they now do >1M specimens at once on a PromethION!
- Reposted by Aaron PomerantzExcited to present at the #PAG2025 @nanoporetech.com workshop tomorrow! Come along to hear more about how we incorporate ONT methylation sequencing for sea turtle conservation! 🐢🧬
- Who’s all going to #PAG2025? Be sure to make our @nanoporetech.com workshop, where you’ll hear how real-time, scalable, highly accurate sequencing is transforming: 🦋 Biodiversity research at scale 🐢 Endangered species conservation 🦠 Pathogen surveillance 🌱 T2T plant assemblies bit.ly/3DqFncM

- Reposted by Aaron PomerantzGreat to see the utilization of Twist Mouse Exome Panel in Iso-seq for improving the number of exons detected! “We show here, using ONT data, that fast and accurate quantification of long-read data is possible and that it is improved by exome capture.” @twistbio.bsky.social
- Long-read sequencing transcriptome quantification with lr-kallisto www.biorxiv.org/content/10.... Although I have not worked on long reads myself, I always keep my eyes on the analysis tools. #bioinformatics
