CoLab 2: Unlocking difficult-to-resolve genomic regions with long reads and dedicated tools
Location: CoLab Theater 2
Date: Thursday, October 22
Time: 5:45 – 6:16 PM EDT
Oxford Nanopore information-rich data is opening new possibilities for resolving challenging regions of the human genome. The long-range information can span repeat-rich and highly homologous sequence, while native methylation information is retained in the underlying data. This session will explore how dedicated analysis and visualisation tools make the most of these capabilities, supporting comprehensive characterisation of complex genes and repeat expansions. The speakers will show how Oxford Nanopore long-read data can be used to detect a broad range of variant types, resolve repeat structure and allele-specific variation, and distinguish genes from pseudogenes and paralogues. The same analysis approach can be applied across whole-genome sequencing and targeted workflows enabled by Adaptive Sampling, giving researchers flexibility to investigate the regions most relevant to their work. Join us to learn how Oxford Nanopore sequencing and dedicated tools can extend genomic analysis beyond the regions that standard approaches often struggle to characterise in research and clinical genomics.
