Powered by long nanopore reads, liver transcriptome analysis reveals new clues about cancer
Just as short-read RNA-seq technology revealed gene expression data that was not possible with previous methods such as microarrays, long nanopore reads are now unlocking deeper insights into transcriptomics that were previously out of reach. The assembly process required to stitch short reads ba

Nanopore sequencing improves the characterisation of mutations driving blood cancer
With recent advances in drug development, especially in the immunotherapy field, it has never been more important to fully elucidate the biological hallmarks and mechanisms of cancer. Scientists are deploying many different tools to answer this need. In two papers, research teams described new techn

Mapping RNA modifications in the human brain with full-length transcript sequencing
A single gene can produce multiple RNA isoforms through complex gene regulation mechanisms, such as alternative splicing and post-transcriptional modifications. This creates a large transcriptional diversity by generating multiple isoforms, as exhibited in the human brain, facilitating the regulatio

London Calling 2023: Direct RNA sequencing update (SQK-RNA004): initial impressions of RNA004 and its application for functional profiling of cancer-associated long non-coding RNAs
Oxford Nanopore Technologies’ direct RNA sequencing chemistry is unique as it determines the sequence of long-read RNA transcripts, capturing full-length isoforms, UTRs, and poly(A) tail lengths, without the requirement of first converting to DNA, nor PCR amplification. Here, we present our new, imp
