Nanopore Sequencing: From Genomes to Proteomes (Virtual Registration)

About

Single-molecule sequencing of DNA and RNA using the commercially available platform by Oxford Nanopore Technologies has shown the world how long read lengths can help in genomics by facilitating alignment, illuminating dark regions of genomes, and resolving isoforms. However, there are unresolved challenges that remain in nanopore technology, for example, sequencing at high-throughput from low-mass inputs equivalent to single-cell amounts (picogram-level genomic materials), improvements to throughput, resolving DNA/RNA base modifications, and increasing read lengths. This workshop is aimed at understanding the state-of-the-art in nanopores, but also, asking bigger questions: can electronic sequencing using a solid-state nanopore ever be achieved? Can we sequence proteins and/or resolve post-translational modifications? How accurately can we provide information on DNA and RNA modifications? In this 2-hour virtual mini-conference, a lineup of experts in the field and pioneers in nanopore research will speak about the future of nanopore sequencing of single biomolecules, from genomes to proteomes.
