2025 Human Cell Atlas General Meeting
9 - 11 June 2025 SST
Singapore, Singapore

Oxford Nanopore at HCA 2025

The 2025 HCA General Meeting will include updates on the release of the first draft of the Human Cell Atlas, including atlas assembly for specific tissues. Plenary and working groups will discuss how to implement and integrate AI and spatial genomics technologies into single-cell atlases, advance equity and diversity, demonstrate the value of healthy atlases by addressing specific diseases, and expand the Human Cell Atlas beyond the first draft.

Oxford Nanopore will sponsoring, exhibiting, and presenting at this conference. Come and visit us at Booth No.6 and join our industry talk to listen to the latest updates on Oxford Nanopore sequencing.

Advancing Spatial and Single Cell Transcriptomics with Oxford Nanopore Sequencing

Technology Showcase Part 3

  • Date & Time: Tuesday 10th June | 13:20 – 14:30

  • Venue: Main Hall - Auditorium

  • Speaker: Dr. Patrick Murphy, Market Segment Manager - Single Cell, Oxford Nanopore Technologies

Talk abstract

Pairing long-read sequencing with single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and spatial transcriptomics significantly deepens biological insight by resolving transcript complexity that short-read methods often miss. While traditional approaches offer a fragmented view of the transcriptome, Oxford Nanopore technology captures full-length RNA molecules, enabling accurate identification of isoforms, alternative splicing events, and gene fusions. In this presentation, we’ll explore how Oxford Nanopore sequencing adds a new dimension to your existing single-cell and spatial workflows — uncovering hidden biology and expanding the discovery power of your samples.
