Knowledge Exchange: Nanopore sequencing the SARS-CoV-2 genome

Hazel Johnson, Technical Applications Scientist & Anthony Doran, Technical Applications Scientist (Bioinformatics)

During this presentation, Hazel and Anthony from Oxford Nanopore’s Technical Services team  provided an overview to sequencing the SARS-CoV-2 virus, using nanopore technology. They walked through the process, from sample preparation, to selection of the right protocol for your experiment, and then provided some insight into the analysis approaches available to you. 

Watch Hazel and Anthony if you’d like to:

• Start to carry out whole genome sequencing of the SARS-CoV-2 virus but you’re not sure where to start
• Understand more about the different sample preparation options and protocols available to you
• Learn about the best SARS-CoV-2 whole genome analysis approaches

During the broadcast a large number of questions were asked, answers to these will be made available shortly.
