Innovate Session
Building Long-Read Capacity in Public Health Laboratories Through Collaborative Training with Oxford Nanopore
Long-read sequencing enables public health laboratories to generate high-quality whole-genome data quickly and cost-effectively, reducing turnaround time and simplifying workflows. This session presents a practical approach to implementing Oxford Nanopore sequencing in a public health laboratory, from initial setup to routine use. We highlight a three-day, hands-on training program developed through a collaborative partnership between the North Carolina and Virginia public health laboratories. The session will focus on the NO-MISS nanopore-only microbial isolate sequencing workflow and streamlined bioinformatic pipelines that support genome assembly, AMR profiling, and core genome analyses in a single run. Example results, including comparisons to short-read data, will demonstrate applications for PulseNet surveillance and healthcare-associated infection investigations.
