Our review article on sequencing & characterising short tandem repeats (STRs) is out in Nature Reviews Genetics! We delve into short read & long read STR genotyping tools and applications in rare disease & population genetics🧬 go.nature.com/48pWZix Genomic Technologies Group Dr Harriet Dashnow Daniel MacArthur

Thrilled at the opportunity to share our recent work in next week’s webinar!

Craig Mello - Nobel prize winner for the discovery of RNAi speaking today at John Curtin School of Medical Research, ANU Shine-Dalgarno Centre for RNA Innovation ourANU

Visiting Distinguished Prof #NobelLaureate Craig C. Mello presented to a packed audience on 'RNAi: Ancient mechanism new medicines' at the combined Special School Seminar & #ACTRNAClub meeting held today as a part of 75th anniversary celebrations series of #JCSMR. #ouranu #rna

We have released some raw Oxford Nanopore data for benchmarking purposes, along with some basecalled outputs. We use the subset of 20k or 500k for benchmarking tools and methods a LOT! We thought they would be helpful to others too. 4/5kHz R10.4.1 & RNA004 gentechgp.github.io/gtgseq/

It's finally published. This one took a long time to get through reviewers: Prediction of m6A and m5C at single-molecule resolution reveals a transcriptome-wide co-occurrence of RNA modifications link.springer.com/article/10.103…

Harvard University just released free online courses. Here are 12 you don't want to miss in 2024:

The improvement in Oxford Nanopore modified base models over the past 18 months #NanoporeConf

At Oxford Nanopore we have successfully sequenced a yeast chromosome, telomere to telomere, in one read.

Happy to share that RISER is published! RISER enables real-time biochemical-free enrichment or depletion of RNA classes during direct RNA sequencing. nature.com/articles/s4146…

JCSMR-led study uses Nanopore sequencing to revolutionize Forensic Science! Dr Zaka Yuen and team at JCSMR identified #DNA methylation markers for age and body fluids using adaptive sampling. Read: bit.ly/4ft8OJz #ForensicScience #Nanopore #DNAResearch #JCSMR #ourANU

R2Dtool github.com/comprna/R2Dtool for handling, integrating, and viualising isoform-resolved RNA feature data - led by AJ Sethi #bioinformatics #RNA #isoforms academic.oup.com/bioinformatics…

RISER has been updated to support Oxford Nanopore RNA004 adaptive sampling to enrich or deplete RNA classes such as mRNA, mtRNA and globin mRNA: github.com/comprna/riser

Urrrrrr...All major papers of Victor Ambros are shared with his wife Rosalind Lee.... Does the nobel committee just hate women called "Rosalind"???

Beginner or Advanced R User? 🤔 ➡️ This cheat sheet is gold. It summarizes all the best practices R developers should apply. If some of it isn’t familiar, the first module of my productive-r-workflow.com project explains exactly this! Thanks so much Jacob Scott 🙏 What's missing?

This new R package is wild. It's called ggalign. Here's what it can do:

Are you looking forward to 2025 as much as we are? 👀 We just updated our 2025 EMBL Annual Poster to include even more courses and conferences for you to join, so go and have a look! ➡️ s.embl.org/poster-x #EMBLEvents #molecularbiology #lifesciencetraining
