ASHG: An Oxford Nanopore guide to ASHG


If you are in San Diego at this week's ASHG meeting, please come and visit us at booth 435.  We will have PromethION, GridION and MinION on display and a range of technology and application experts to answer all your questions.

The following speakers have been confirmed and there will be drinks afterwards:

  • Whole Genome Sequencing Analysis of Rare Variants in 475 Individuals with Neurodevelopmental Disorders. Alba Sanchis-Juan, University of Chicago
  • High-throughput repeat expansion sequencing on PromethION: An ABCA7 VNTR case study. Arne De Roeck, VIB - University of Antwerp
  • Human structural variation identified by Oxford Nanopore PromethION. Wouter De Coster, VIB - University of Antwerp
  • Nanopore accuracy; overtaking the competition... Clive G. Brown, CTO, Oxford Nanopore Technologies Ltd.

If you are interested in finding out more about the use of Oxford Nanopore technology in human genetics, you can download our white paper or browse relevant publications.

If you are visiting the poster sessions, you can find out more about how Oxford Nanopore technology is being used in human genetics:
