Spanish-language webinar: Integrating Nanopore Sequencing Into Clinical Research - Case Studies in Pathogen, Cancer and Genomics Analysis

Long-read sequencing provides advantages over short reads for a multitude of applications including characterising pathogens, analysing cancer genomic alterations and accurately detecting structural variants in the human genome.

In this webinar, Dr. Alfredo Hidalgo Miranda demonstrates the potential and flexibility of Oxford Nanopore Technologies’ sequencing platforms in cancer and infectious disease research. He showcases the use of the Oxford Nanopore sequencing platform to sequence SARS-CoV-2 and Mycobacterium tuberculosis to monitor viral evolution and drug resistance. Dr. Hidalgo Miranda also highlights the transcriptomic analysis, characterisation of chromosomal translocations and the identification of mutations with diagnostic potential in lymphoblastic leukemia samples.
