Novel insights into animal genomes and transcriptomes
Animal genomics provides valuable insights into many scientific research areas — from the use of model organisms to the study of human diseases, through to animal health, breeding, conservation, and evolution. Oxford Nanopore sequencing reads of unrestricted length, from short to ultra long, provide novel and cost-effective insights into animal genomes, transcriptomes, and microbiomes, through the accurate resolution of complex genomic regions, haplotypes, and full-length transcripts.
Direct sequencing of native DNA or RNA further allows identification of epigenetic modifications (e.g. methylation) in one go, alongside nucleotide sequences.

Advances in Oxford Nanopore read accuracy
This poster describes how to achieve accurate and complete assemblies for genomes of any size across a wide variety of organisms, including honeybee (Apis mellifera) and zebu cattle (Bos indicus), using highly scalable telomere-to-telomere (T2T) assembly workflows.
