From cultures to communities: exploring microbes with Oxford Nanopore sequencing​
June 26 2025, 4:30 PM - 6:00 PM BST

Join our webinar where we examine the diverse applications of Oxford Nanopore sequencing across the microbial research spectrum; from individual bacterial isolates to complex microbial communities. The speakers will showcase how real-time, long-read sequencing is transforming clinical microbiology, utilising automated workflows for rapid pathogen identification and surveillance. The session will also explore human microbiome studies, metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) as well as the cutting-edge bioinformatic tools and software for microbiome analysis.

Whether you're working with cultures in the lab or diverse communities in the gut, this session offers a comprehensive look at how Oxford Nanopore is advancing microbial genomics.​

The webinar will be broadcast at 4:30 pm (BST) / 11:30 am (EDT) / 08:30 am (PDT).
