Our nature note with @philtorres.bsky.social @aaronpomerantz.bsky.social et al. in @ecol-evol.bsky.social was featured in @science.org #ScienceShots written by @sahasmehra.bsky.social #Cyclosa #decoy #spiders #evolution #Peru #Philippines

Congrats @philtorres.bsky.social and @aaronpomerantz.bsky.social on the paper! I look for these decoy spiders whenever I’m in the rainforest and this is the best example I’ve found. #inverts Cuyabeno Reserve, Ecuador 2022

Introducing our new Microbial Amplicon Barcoding Kit, which enhances microbial community profiling with an information-rich, rapid & accessible protocol for streamlined identification of bacteria, archaea & fungi — in one go. nanoporetech.com/news/oxford-...

🚨 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

Pleased 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...

🧵🦠🖥️🧬🧪 Please RePost 🙏 We just released reference genomes for another 250 strains to the ATCC Genome Portal (genomes.ATCC.org)! We now have assemblies for _5,750 microbial genomes_ AND all assemblies w/ @nanoporetech.com data will include DNA methylation profiles too (details👇) #genomics 1/

We’re bringing #ASMMicrobe 2025 to you, virtually. Join Robert James, Angela Hickey, and Jose Alexander as they share how real-time, Oxford Nanopore sequencing is transforming microbiology—from single bacterial isolates to the complexities of the microbiome. nanoporetech.com/about/events...

Need bacterial DNA methylation data? Well, we’ve been re-basecalling all ONT data for the ATCC Genome Portal to get it. A huge effort, but as of today we have Mthyl data for ~1,500 bacterial strains. Attending #ASMicrobe? happy to chat IRL about it too. i.e. > genomes.atcc.org/genomes/67e8...

Francisella tularensis identified using @articnetwork.bsky.social SMART-9N metagenomics and @nanoporetech.com sequencing. Amazing work!

What 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

Very cool!

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...

New metagenome assembler for ONT R10 and PacBio HiFi reads, from Jim Shaw. See Jim's thread for details

Short-read metagenomic sequencing cannot recover genomes from many abundant marine prokaryotes due to high strain heterogeneity and platform-inherent GC bias (likely viruses, too), but Nanopore long reads can address this. A results thread on our recent preprint 🧵.

Absolutely 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!

High-quality metagenome assembly from nanopore reads with nanoMDBG https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.04.22.649928v1

It's been a good month for Nanopore assembly preprints! This time metagenomic assembly with nanoMDBG: hundreds of high-quality MAGs from high-complexity communities

One thing I’m looking forward to this year: Updating the ATCC Genome Portal to be able to deliver the DNA methylation data we have on over 5,000 bacteria and fungi… We just finished rebasecalling all of the raw @nanoporetech.com data we’ve produced since 2019 with the latest version of Dorado.🙃

This new Hifiasm --ont option is amazing. It worked like a charm for us in the nanopore adaptive sampling based assembly paradigm we introduced in a preprint recently. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Preprint on hifiasm Nanopore-only assembly. Led by Haoyu Cheng: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

First 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.

Check out our new Apps Note on metagenomic assembly of the Zymo fecal reference with nanopore sequencing and metaMDBG. Almost 200 Gb of metagenomic sequence data from a single PromethION flowcell, yeilding hundreds of high-quality metagenome assembled genomes: nanoporetech.com/resource-cen...

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)

Excited 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! 🐢🧬

Great 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

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

Impressive work from lab of @evamarianovoa.bsky.social Scalable and reproducible workflow of native RNA nanopore sequencing + NanoConsensus analysis finds significant rRNA modification changes in response to antibiotic stress—genuinely novel concept for AMR research www.nature.com/articles/s41...
